To date, we have invested £3.3 billion in transition finance, including £1.4 billion in renewable energy, £1.2 billion in green bonds and £0.7 billion in other solutions (such as technology, infrastructure and real estate).
We have invested over £1 billion in Cardiff, transforming the city centre and generating excellent financial performance. Our regeneration of Cardiff has not only created state-of-the-art workspace, homes and better transport, but also a sense of arrival when people step off the train into Central Square. Cardiff shows the scale of our ambition and our work is by no means finished.
We are committed to raising standards at the companies and markets in which we invest, on behalf of our clients, to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Our investment management business is a major global investor with total assets under management (AUM) of £1.2 trillion, of which £378 billion (2022: £332.2 billion) is in strategies explicitly linked to ESG criteria.
Our purpose is to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders. Click below to view our highlights from 2023.
