We are signatories to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a United Nations supported initiative that promotes responsible investing through 6 principles. These are a voluntary and aspirational set of guidelines for incorporating ESG issues into investment practice. In implementing them, signatories contribute to developing a more sustainable global financial system.
Principle 6.
We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.
Where appropriate we use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as part of our process for assessing and measuring the outcomes of strategies with non-financial objectives.
The UN SDGs are the globally recognised framework for reporting sustainable outcomes. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 and provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity on the planet, now and in the future. They recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
In 2020 we participated for the first time in CDP by submitting a climate change disclosure for Premier Miton Group plc. The aim of this work is to set an internal benchmark for climate change performance and to highlight areas where we need to improve.
For our third year of completion in 2022, we achieved a score of ‘B.’ This is above the ‘C’ global average and ‘B-‘ average for financial services companies. Within our overall score, we achieved an ‘A’ for Governance, ‘A’ for Risk Management Processes and ‘A-’ for Business Strategy, Financial Planning & Scenario Analysis.

We are proud that Premier Miton is a signatory to Climate Action 100+, an investor-led initiative to ensure the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change. More than 615 investors, responsible for over $60 trillion in assets under management, are engaging with companies on improving climate change governance, cutting emissions and strengthening climate-related financial disclosures. As a signatory to Climate Action 100+, Premier Miton has committed to participating in engagements with companies that are critical to the net zero carbon transition.
