Our ethics

 

While we are accountable to investors in our funds and to our shareholders, we take into account the interests of all our stakeholders. We aim to be commercial and fair, to maintain our integrity and professionalism and to respect the needs of investors, staff, suppliers, the local community and the businesses in which we invest. Our standards are embedded in the culture of the company and are reinforced by our recruitment decisions and our annual performance review process.

For more information, please view our Responsible investment policy and our Ethical charter.

All funds raised by Bridges Ventures have specific strategies to achieve a positive social and/or environmental impact. For more information, click here.

Bridges Ventures is also signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), an investor initiative in partnership with UNEP FI and the UN Global Compact. The voluntary principles provide a useful framework for incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into mainstream investment decision-making and ownership practices.

The Principles are very much aligned with Bridges Ventures' investment philosophy and we believe that it is vital to be part of this ground-breaking effort to promote sustainable investing. As a signatory, we aspire to continually improve the manner in which our investment making process embodies and reflects these principles and to contribute to the acceptance and implementation of sustainable investing throughout the industry. We are committed to working with the PRI and other signatories and taking part in the PRI's annual reporting and assessment.
