The University is taking a further step in its commitment to sustainability by appointing Cazenove Capital to manage investment funds.
Our decision to appoint Cazenove Capital means future investments will give a significant weighting to ethical, social and governance issues and help us have a positive global impact. This builds on the university’s sustainability strategy which was developed in consultation with staff and students.
“The University has always maintained that it is not willing to invest in organisations which demonstrate harm - this appointment will also enable us to look at where we can make investment for good.”
The contract will run for an initial four years with options to extend at the end of the term and is aiming to, amongst other sustainable goals, generate a reduction of 5,600 metric tonnes of carbon – the annual energy use of 655 homes.
