At NEI, we forge new paths to performance, powered by foresight and supported by action. Our decision-making is guided by a wide range of inputs and perspectives, including our extensive responsible investing (RI) expertise, which we have refined over decades.

The rise of standardized sustainability reporting
2023 marked a crucial year for RI with the publication of new international reporting standards for sustainability and climate-related financial disclosures. These guidelines, issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board, are pivotal in creating a cohesive framework for investors worldwide.
A holistic compilation of responsible investment data
For the first time, we have consolidated our responsible investment data into one comprehensive publication. This report provides a detailed account of our exclusionary screening results, evaluations, and impact metrics, offering investors a richer understanding of how their investments with us are contributing to broader societal and environmental goals. By integrating diverse data sets, including climate metrics and impact assessments, we offer a clear picture of our investment strategies and outcomes.

Our stewardship activities, including corporate engagement, proxy voting, and policy advocacy led by our RI team, provide additional value for investors by influencing change at both the company level and within the regulatory environment of the companies we invest in.
NEI’s stewardship program has a sharp focus on net-zero alignment, nature, and human rights, tackling issues from climate change strategies, mitigating nature-related risks, and navigating the intersection of technology and human rights.
