Bedrock’s alignment to the UNPRI

Posted by Carlota Vandekoppel on

At Bedrock, we endeavour to be responsible stakeholders in the global financial community and for our corporate activities to reflect our values and those of our clients. An important milestone in such endeavour was our decision to join the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in January 2021.

The PRI is an independent investor network supported by the UN that seeks to promote responsible investment among its members, the wider investment community, and society at large. Having been founded in 2005, the PRI has since become the leading proponent of incorporating ESG factors into investment and asset ownership decisions globally. The organisation is non-prescriptive in its approach to responsible investment, given that how such terms are understood around the world and from person to person varies widely while best practice is a moving target. However, all investors who join the PRI must sign up to its six core principles which underscore their commitment to engage with and report on ESG matters; namely:

  1. We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
  2. We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
  3. We will seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
  4. We will promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry.
  5. We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
  6. We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.


To help signatories live up to these principles and embed ESG in their investment decision-making processes, the PRI provides its members with access to high quality SRI research and forums, a vast network of ESG-conscious investors with whom to converse, and a comprehensive framework for reporting on the ESG characteristics of investment portfolios.
