Responsible Investing

At Irish Life Investment Managers (ILIM) our vision is to build better futures. We are committed to managing the assets entrusted to us by our clients (as well as our own assets) responsibly, with the objective of delivering longer-term sustainable returns.

Responsible investing means a number of things to Irish Life – from being a good steward of assets over the longer term, to integrating more robust decision-making within our portfolios, which takes account of environmental and social issues and the more traditional governance and financial risks, to offering a range of investment options that can meet the ESG preferences of our clients.

Since becoming a signatory in 2010, we have been committed to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), leveraging our scale as a global asset manager to influence and change company behaviours.

We also believe that responsible investing goes beyond how we manage portfolios alone. We take our role as a corporate citizen seriously, and recognise the part we can play in contributing to the overall long-term sustainability of the market by promoting responsible investment practices with other stakeholders for the benefit of all.
