Our parent company, Prudential Plc
As a life insurer, asset owner and manager, we are long-term stewards of our customers’ assets. We have a responsibility to our customers, the communities and environment in which we operate, to apply ESG considerations into our investment decisions
and our fiduciary and stewardship duties.
ESG is overseen by the Board, which is responsible for determining strategy and prioritisation of key focus areas. At the board level, the Responsibility & Sustainability Working Group has been established. They will oversee the embedding of the Group’s
ESG framework and progress on diversity and inclusion initiatives and employee engagement activities.
In order to provide greater senior executive involvement and holistic oversight of ESG matters material to the Group, in 2020 a Group ESG Committee was established, superseding the previous ESG Executive Committee. As with other ESG matters, responsible
investment activity is overseen by the Group ESG Committee. Operational responsibility for responsible investment activity is delegated to the Group Responsible Investment Advisory Committee (GRIAC). The GRIAC is constituted as a sub-committee
of the Group ESG Committee and provides a forum for Group and business units to consider responsible investment approaches.
