United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment

Many organisations talk about individual products and options as being ethical or responsible.

LUCRF Super strongly believe that to be truly ethical and responsible, this commitment must be more broadly applied to investment products and practices, rather than just offering a fashionable investment option.

It is for exactly this reason that LUCRF Super has signed the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), joining other global investors with funds under management of over $13 trillion.

LUCRF Super believes that environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues can affect the performance of investment portfolios. We also recognise that applying these Principles may continue the Fund’s commitment to being aligned with the broader objectives of society.

Signing the UNPRI means that LUCRF Super is committed to the long-term development and implementation of investment policies that:

• Incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes
• We are active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices
• Seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest
• Promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry
• Work with other signatories to enhance effectiveness in implementing the Principles, and
• Report on activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.

Signing these Principles publicly highlights our ongoing commitment to the promotion of more sustainable markets and long-term investments using environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues to improve investment practices.

These Principles will in time be considered part of our criteria for all investment decisions that the Fund makes on behalf of our members.
