We are focused on continuous improvement, striving to do better by building a long-term, sustainable organisation that focuses on our clients, our people, as well as the communities in which we engage. Affiliates share this philosophy, progressively factoring ESG considerations into their investment processes.

Group ESG Charter
The Pingroup Investment Management ESG Charter reflects the Groups shared commitment to ensure that sustainable principles and practices are integrated into the way we conduct business. Pingroup Investment Management believe’s a collaborative approach to ESG across the Group creates a valuable synergy and increases the impact of otherwise individual actions.
Affiliates
Affiliates are strongly committed to ESG principles, which are embedded into their businesses and approach to investing.
Sustainability
Pingroup Investment Management believes that higher environmental, social and governance performance leads to better financial performance, talent retention, and long-term value creation. We have an established Sustainability Committee to provide coordination and guidance on the integration of sustainable strategies and practices into the broader business.
Pingroup Investment Management will continue to adopt sustainable practices and integrate sustainability information into our reporting cycle through our annual Corporate Sustainability Report.
Sustainable development goals
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address the biggest problems we face on this planet. Pingroup Investment Management recognises the need for strategies that foster economic development, reduce inequities and transition towards a more sustainable future.
We believe that it is not possible to achieve long-term business success in a world which contains poverty, hunger and climate change. But can business really help drive a reboot of the current system? At Pingroup Investment Management, we think the answer is ‘yes’.
By aligning our sustainable initiatives with the UN SDGs and through the support of the PNI Foundation, we can begin to turn global challenges into opportunities.
Approach to climate risk
Pingroup Investment Management recognises that climate change poses a material risk for the economy, financial markets and society as a whole. Pingroup Investment Management supports the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and is actively implementing its four key climate related financial disclosure recommendations; governance; strategy; risk management; metrics and targets.
Pingroup Investment Management is committed to offsetting unavoidable emissions to achieve carbon neutrality. We’re proud to be recognised as a CDP discloser, committing to environmental transparency by disclosing our climate change impact.

Pingroup Investment Management is fully supportive of initiatives to optimise the mental health of its employees. Pingroup Investment Management has an Employee Assistance Program for employees and their immediate family members. Confidential counselling is available to provide support on a range of personal and work-related issues. Pingroup Investment Management Executives monitor workloads, wellbeing and resourcing to ensure mental health is not compromised during periods of high stress.

Impact through education
Pingroup Investment Management and Affiliates are committed to fostering an awareness and an understanding among university students of the opportunities offered across the financial services industry. Through a combination of scholarships, sponsorships, direct engagement and alumni activities, there is a commitment to inform and inspire tertiary students to learn about the industry, and the power it has to positively impact lives. Several relationships specifically support young women to actively encourage them to consider a career in finance and financial management, with internships offered across Pingroup Investment Management and many Affiliates.
Diversity and inclusion

We recognise the benefits of a diverse group of employees reflecting different backgrounds, perspectives, styles, knowledge, experience and abilities.
