Share your views on the University’s Responsible Investment Policy

The University has opened a three-month consultation on its Responsible Investment Policy.

University staff and students are invited to share views on proposed changes to the University's investment approach. This will help ensure that the Policy is fully aligned with the University's values, and sufficient to guide the investment approach over the next several years.  

The Responsible Investment Policy Statement (2016) guides the University’s approach to all of its investment activity and has been under review for the past year. Discussions with students and colleagues on current global issues have confirmed that a broader consultation on changes to the Policy is needed. 

The consultation presents a range of proposals for staff and students to review, including a commitment to socially positive investments, aligning portfolios with a 1.5°C emissions pathway, and ensuring that our investment activities are responsible in an international context. 

All individuals employed at the University and all matriculated students are eligible to share their views on proposed changes to the policy.  

The consultation will be open from 31 May to 30 August 2024.
