Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Policy
The Calculus Capital Limited (“Calculus”) ESG Policy details our firm-wide commitment to integrate ESG risks into our investment processes, and outlines the foundation, ownership, and oversight mechanisms, which underpin our approach.
ESG integration is the practice of incorporating material ESG information into investment decisions with the objective of improving the long-term financial outcomes of our client’s portfolios.
Responsibility
ESG integration is a core part of the investment process, and as with all other components of the investment process, is the responsibility of our investment team. In turn, it is the responsibility of the Calculus Board to ensure oversight and that all factors detailed in the ESG Policy are considered when making investment decisions, as well as in the management of existing portfolio companies. Investment Directors are accountable for ensuring existing portfolio companies adopt strategies which align with a transition to a more sustainable economy.
Mission Statement
Calculus recognises that it has a social and environmental responsibility beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to making a positive environmental and social impact, alongside continually improving performance and governance. Each of these are integral to our business strategy and operating methods.
The ESG Policy will be reviewed at least annually to reflect changes within Calculus, as well as alterations made regarding ESG considerations, more widely.
Annual Review
Calculus shall review this ESG policy at least once per year.
