Responsible investment
The University of Edinburgh was the first university in Europe to sign the UN Principles of Responsible Investment, and has committed to avoid investments in fossil fuels, controversial weapons, and tobacco.
Initiatives
The approach the University takes to responsible investment fully supports the stated values and mission of the University.
Updates
Short life working groups are established to review elements of the University's investment policy. Since 2014, policy updates have affected investments in the fossil fuel industry and armaments.
