Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Woodbridge defines ESG risk as an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause a material negative impact on an investment. ESG risk factors are integrated into the investment objective and credit risk assessment of each loan taken into consideration at the portfolio level by country and sector. A negative screen is employed by Woodbridge to avoid loans against assets that do not meet minimum ESG and ethical standards.

  • Animal Cruelty

The scope for excluding controversial weapons is defined as any involvement in the development and production of biological and chemical weapons, depleted uranium ammunition/armour, anti-personnel mines or cluster munitions/sub-munitions and their key components. The scope for excluding nuclear weapons is defined as any involvement in the development, production and maintenance of nuclear weapons.Woodbridge will refrain from investing or lending to assets where more than 25% of the total asset value or income is derived one of the following sectors or activities:
