Our approach to sustainability
At Liberty, we aim to play a meaningful role in society while operating a responsible and ethical business. We care about how our business impacts society, the economy and the environment, and we aspire toward the wellbeing of future generations. Liberty’s purpose is to improve people’s lives by making their financial freedom possible. We do this by ensuring we nurture our relationships and skilfully navigate risks. As a results, we deliver products aligned to our purpose, remaining committed to financial- and other education, wellness and confronting climate change.
Our sustainability policy
We strive to maximise our positive social, economic and environmental (SEE) impacts while mitigating and managing potential negative impacts. We aspire to deliver value by focusing on issues that matter to our employees, financial advisers, clients, stakeholders and the broader community, among others.
Our responsible investment policy
We aim to create societal value and preserve the natural capital our business depends on. We understand that our success is linked to the prosperity and wellbeing of our societies and we believe in doing our part to contribute to a better future for all. Liberty finds value in incorporating relevant and material ESG issues that can meaningfully affect investment performance in our research, decision-making, reporting and ongoing monitoring processes, and we believe this enables us to better identify investments that will provide sustainable and superior risk-adjusted returns. As an active asset owner, we can influence corporates and entities to incorporate ESG factors, thereby promoting sustainable businesses.
