Principles for Responsible Investment
BCI is a founding signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). At the heart of the PRI is the idea that investors have a duty to act in the best long-term interests of their clients and beneficiaries. This directly aligns with our own mandate and fiduciary duty to our clients. The PRI provides a set of principles for their global network of institutional investors; on behalf of our clients, we are committed to integrating environmental, social, and governance factors into our processes.
Our PRI Assessment
PRI signatories participate in an annual assessment of progress. This is a valuable tool that allows BCI to benchmark our responsible investing practices against others. A standardized methodology is applied and each signatory is provided with transparency and assessment reports.
In 2021, PRI introduced a new reporting framework as part of its 10-year strategy established in 2012, along with a new reporting tool for signatories. Among other changes, the category scores have moved from alphabetical to numerical grading. As a result, BCI’s scores in this year’s assessment are not comparable to previous PRI results.
