Artemis Investment Management, a leading UK–based fund manager, offering a range of funds that invest in the UK, Europe, the USA and around the world, has achieved Planet Mark certification.
This is Artemis’ fourth year of business carbon footprint reporting and Planet Mark certification. In this crucial Decade of Action, Artisan Drinks want to ensure that we are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring our own impact on the environment.
In the coming years, the company will be working towards reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with the community to encourage others to join the movement.
“I am pleased with the progress Artemis has been able to make in such a trying year for business. I am pleased that Artemis was able to take this time to cut its carbon footprint. The team is dedicated to responsible investment, and its longstanding policies on sustainability have paid dividends this year. Well done to everyone in the team.”
Artemis is part of a number of initiatives that promote its own Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities, as well as furthering the industry’s best practice. As well as a commitment to cutting carbon year-on-year, the fund manager has been a signatory of the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment since 2015, as well as holding memberships to the Investor Forum and Climate Action 100+, an initiative to ensure the largest greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change. Artemis is also supportive of SASB’s mission to report on financially focused ESG issues.
The finance industry must seize upon the opportunity offered by sustainable development. There is a growing call among boardrooms across the world to embrace the changes climate action presents. Sustainable practice and awareness can ensure the long-term resilience of funds and increase investor confidence in products that should be built for the modern world. A company that offers sustainable products must also then walk the walk, ensuring its own processes and supply chain are future-proof and climate-resilient as the products it supplies.
To recertify next year Artemis Investment must reduce emissions by 2.5%.
A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
