AT the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), it is our belief that aligning our investment activities with the broader interests of society would serve our objectives as a retirement savings fund that is driven by long-term, sustainable value creation for our stakeholders.
While the EPF has largely been an ethical investor in the past by screening out sectors that are deemed to be unethical, becoming a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles of Responsible Investment in 2019 served as a catalyst for the EPF to gradually embed sustainability considerations into its investment analysis and decision-making processes.
