Aligning your investment practices with your beliefs

Responsible Investment (RI) integrates environmental, social and governance considerations into the investment process. It is a way of investing that builds a just and sustainable society. It respects the mission and beliefs of our faith-based partners while achieving our practical financial goals. RI is also a tool to spread messages such as respect for the planet, corporate integrity and justice.

For Charitus, RI or Faith Based Investing means the integration of environmental, social and governance considerations into our investment management processes and ownership practices. We prioritize 5 fundamental RI issues into our investment strategy: Human Rights and Dignity, Labour Rights, Economic and Social Justice, Environmental Sustainability, and a Global Culture of Peace.
