pri assessment results
The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) has given Active Super top marks (five stars) in seven categories in its PRI 2021 Assessment Report. The report assesses asset owners’ implementation of responsible investments across a range of asset classes in their investment portfolio.
The report allows asset owners who are signatories to the UNPRI principles (including many super funds) to track their responsible investment performance year-on-year and see how they compare against other asset owners on a local and global level.
These scores underline the importance of a comprehensive strategy and strong governance when it comes to responsible investment, as well as the benefits of active ownership in improving environmental, social and governance practices.

*Passive Voting: We have passive mandates which we don’t vote but there are questions in the Survey which pertain to Voting. There was no category for Indirect Passive Voting so it has been amalgamated in one category.
The scoring system has changed from ‘A+’ ratings in 2020 to percentages & star ratings in 2021. This has been done to reflect greater differentiation between participants.
2020’s scores are therefore incomparable with this year’s scores.
