Sustainability in capital allocation
Our updated sustainability investment appraisal framework integrates material environmental, social and governance factors and carbon pricing into decision-making and governance, enabling assessment of strategy alignment, risks, and value-creation opportunities. It supports climate related risks and opportunities evaluation, drives low-carbon investments, improves operational efficiency and strengthens supply-chain resilience.
From initial screening to post-investment engagement, we adopt a structured, multi-stage process throughout the investment lifecycle to ensure we invest initiatives that boost long-term financial performance, deliver positive sustainability outcomes and unlock future growth opportunities.
Stakeholder engagement
Jardines’ long-term success is built on enduring relationships. We actively engage a broad range of stakeholders to understand their perspectives and expectations, build trust and foster resilient partnerships. Our collaborative approach with portfolio companies strengthens sustainability governance, aligns priorities and drives portfolio-wide value creation.
We have conducted a double materiality assessment to embed sustainability into strategic planning and operations. This ensures our priorities reflect both stakeholder expectations and business imperatives, advancing our commitment to sustainable growth and stakeholder value creation.
