Sustainability
Flagship Investments commits to responsible investing. As a responsible investor, we know environmental, social, and corporate governance factors (ESG) affect performance. To protect our Shareholders’ capital, therefore, we’ve always insisted on understanding ESG holistically to gauge investment potential.
In our view accounting for ESG risks and opportunities can lead to more informed investment decisions. A company we assess as being investment-grade, a ‘Quality Franchise’, inherently requires a full assessment of these factors to ensure a sustainable business model that can generate predictable earnings growth over time.
