This includes our own organisation and those we partner with, as well as the NGOs we seek to fund. We aspire to hold ourselves to the highest standards in the key areas that reflect Greater Share’s values and the way we invest.

Sustainability.
Greater Share will adopt a long-term mindset that will serve to ensure we are able to support and provide sustained funding for NGOs and charities for many years to come. We also aspire to operate a carbon-neutral organisation with environmental impact front of mind, avoiding unnecessary travel, reducing emissions and always seeking to buy from sustainable sources.

Responsible Investing.
Greater Share will seek to partner with investment firms that promote responsible investment, and who share our objective of long-term value creation for all stakeholders. Greater Share will engage with firms that are committed to systematically integrating ESG considerations into their investment processes, while maintaining discretion over the scope of our participation in each underlying portfolio.
