How we make a difference
From how and where we invest your money, to the way we serve our communities and run our business, we are proactively seeking opportunities to be a positive force for change in a number of key areas of sustainability.
Sustainable investing
Sustainable investing can mean different things to different businesses.
When we invest in companies, we aim to improve the sustainability of our managed funds, engaging with and challenging investee businesses to become more sustainable where we believe we can make a positive difference.
We do this by applying the three principles of responsible screening, positive contribution and active engagement.
Community and citizenship
At Wesleyan, we’ve always recognised our responsibility to the communities around us. That’s why we created the Wesleyan Foundation, to provide financial support to the organisations that promote health, education and social development.
Since 2017, we've donated millions to countless causes across the UK.
Business impact
In 2019, we benchmarked our carbon footprint and set out our goal to be operationally carbon neutral by the end of 2023. We met this target by reducing our operational footprint by more than 50% and purchased credible carbon credits to offset the remainder.
Year on year, we are continuing to make reductions and are now preparing interim targets to be net zero as a business by 2050.
