Manager's responsible investing approach

Janus Henderson is a signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), a set of voluntary and aspirational principles giving a framework for the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues (as defined by the UNPRI) into mainstream investment decision making and ownership practices.

As an active asset manager, Janus Henderson integrates financial material Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into its investment decision-making and ownership practices aiming to deliver the results clients seek.

Integrating ESG factors demands active and ongoing engagement and Janus Henderson believes that consideration of financially material ESG factors can enhance long-term risk-adjusted returns. At an investment level, it integrates these factors into its analysis and processes as appropriate, helping it identify opportunities and risks, and influence positive change as it engages with companies.

Recognising that there is a lack of consistency in ESG implementation and articulation across the industry, Janus Henderson seeks to be clear in its communication as well as provide insight and education for its clients.
