Companies of concern

Fund Provider Response

All companies are exposed to varying levels of ESG risks. Mint analyses the most material ESG risks companies are exposed to, and we expect our investee companies to manage these risks appropriately. If their risk management falls short of our expectations, in most cases we prefer to engage with the company to encourage sustainable change. Engagement is preferred to divestment as divesting reduces our ability to positively influence. Please see the Responsible Investing section of our website for more info: https://www.mintasset.co.nz/responsibleinvesting

This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios that each fund has filed with the Disclose register to 30th Sept. 2023 and Mindful Money analysis of funds within those portfolios. The list of companies of concern has been drawn from ratings agencies and public sources, including the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, NZ Super Fund, Sustainalytics and research organisations.

Please note that companies may breach more than one of these areas of concern.

The listing of companies of concern is based on definitions used in Mindful Money's methodology. These definitions may be different from the exclusions policy and definitions applied by the fund provider.

Mindful Money uses the term Mindful Funds as our standard for ethical investment and responsible investment. This does not imply that other funds are unethical or that the fund providers that do not meet these standards are unethical providers.
