Responsibility

Responsible investing is integral to the Veld business and culture.

We are committed to being responsible investors. We have our core belief that a focus on responsible investment and the integration of ESG risks and opportunities into our investment processes will ensure that we operate positively as a business while creating sustainable value for our investors.

We recognize that we cannot impose a single ESG approach across all our investments. Our philosophy provides a flexible framework that supports a consistent approach to the consideration of ESG risks and opportunities, while permitting a bespoke implementation of ESG factors across different asset classes and investment teams.

This philosophy aligns with our fiduciary responsibilities to our investors. It also reflects our commitments as a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and a voluntary adherent to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), as well as regulatory requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our ESG approach will continue to evolve as standards of responsible investing improve within the industry and as regulatory obligations continue to expand.
