Responsible Investment

One of our two strategic responsible business focus areas

We have worked with the Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership to identify where we can make the most material impact across Old Mutual Group. Responsible investment is one of our key focus areas levers, where we aim to become a leader in financial services. We define responsible investment as ‘a cross-cutting approach to investment that integrates the consideration of material environmental, social and governance factors into investment and ownership decisions’. It is our view that companies that swiftly respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by our changing environments and society will reap the benefits of stronger growth prospects, enhanced operating efficiencies and stronger social licensce to operate. In addition, they will enjoy enhanced staff employee retention, lower cost of capital and, ultimately, stronger and longer competitive advantage.

Futuregrowth: Allocating Capital to Renewable Energy Investments
While the debate over the use of nuclear power continues, the renewable energy sector is quietly forging ahead and independent power producers are adding much-needed capacity to the grid. Since the Department of Energy (DoE) embarked on its alternative energy drive in 2012, capital investments in renewables have totalled almost R200 billion.

South Africa has some of the best natural resources available for solar and wind power. This, together with a reputationally strong and well-run independent power procurement programme, has created opportunities for institutional investors like Futuregrowth − who is now a leading funder of the programme.
