• Bridges Community Ventures seeks to promote responsible business standards in the businesses in which it invests.
• Our vision is that our investments will bring social, environmental and economic benefits.
• We will measure and report on these benefits to our investors and stakeholders.
• We seek to encourage the companies we invest in to be responsible towards their own stakeholders and we believe this is in the interests of the companies as well as their communities.
• Every investment decision is a judgement call. Because we are investors for a purpose as well as a profit, we reserve the right to refuse investments that we consider are not socially or environmentally responsible.
• We aim to avoid investing in companies which:

• do not respect human rights;
• do not comply with current environmental and social legislation;

or

• have no proposals to address defined future legislation;
• do not seek to comply with their industry standards and best practice
