Our global commitment to responsible investment
We are signatories to the UNPRI, UK Stewardship Code and Japan Stewardship Code. In 2016, the FRC (Financial Reporting Council) began tiering signatories and Invesco Perpetual was assessed as Tier 1 for our robust process and adherence to stewardship code principles. You can find a copy of Invesco’s PRI Transparency Report at www.unpri.org.
Our support for responsible investment comprises the following five areas:
-
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), evaluation, screening and integration
ESG considerations are factors, among many, that may be considered as part of a robust fundamental research process. -
Research, resources and training
Our teams have access to a wide range of information, including the ESG-related practices of companies worldwide. -
Engagement with our portfolio companies
Our investment teams may question or challenge companies about ESG issues that could have an impact on future value. -
Proxy voting
We believe the voting of proxies should be managed with the same care as all other elements of the investment process. -
Environmental sustainability
Invesco recognizes its responsibility to help sustain a healthy, clean environment for future generations.

Invesco is committed to adopting and implementing responsible investment principles in a manner that is consistent with our fiduciary responsibilities to clients. Invesco supports the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and recognizes the importance of considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues as part of a robust investment process.
In June 2013, Invesco became a signatory of the UNPRI (United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment). The PRI is the largest and leading global responsible investment network of investment managers and asset owners in the industry. Invesco joins several other peer organizations in our support of the PRI initiative and material ESG topics.
The PRI is based on six key principles that serve as a foundational framework for large diversified investment managers to establish a well-articulated and supportive approach to ESG issues.
As part of our commitment to these Principles for Responsible investment:
- We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
- We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
- We will seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
- We will promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry.
- We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
- We will each report on our activities and progress toward implementing the Principles.
Our commitment to corporate responsibility
"Invesco’s Corporate Social Responsibility efforts are motivated by the belief that doing what’s right for the environment, our people and the communities we serve helps us deliver the best possible experience to clients."
- Marty Flanagan, President and CEO
As a Responsible Investment firm, strong corporate social responsibility practices are part of our culture. Invesco’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility ensures we uphold responsible investment standards, are good stewards of the environment, celebrate diversity of thought from our colleagues, and give back to our communities.
Invesco encourages employees to play active roles in the growth and development of the communities in which they live and work. It’s our way of giving back. Through the Invesco Cares and Green Teams, local Invesco offices identify areas of community involvement based on the unique needs of the local community. Employees and senior leaders volunteer raise funds and participate in programs to give back to the communities we serve.
The Invesco Women’s Network (IWN) was founded in 2010 in order to create opportunities and forums for the development, networking and engagement of Invesco women. Its goal is to further enhance the company’s ability to attract, retain, develop and advance women at all levels and across all functions within the firm to the benefit of our clients, employees and shareholders.
