Sustainable Investing
The University believes that, in investing its funds, regard must be made to social, environmental and governance issues.
In line with its general strategic direction, the University believes that its investments should mirror its own desire to be sustainable and promote sustainability and that a preference will be given to positive screening to proactively bring about sustainable positive change in the world.
