Our alliance with the PRI will further enable us to streamline our responsible investment framework as well as adopt and share the industry and global best practices. Additionally, to promote awareness about ESG amongst policyholders, we recently launched an ESG focused 'Sustainable Equity Fund' and the same is available in our Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) offerings.Further, our sound governance practices have been widely recognised - we have won the 'Best Governed Company in the listed segment: Large category' award at the 21st Institute of Company Secretaries (ICSI) National Awards for Excellence in Corporate Governance.We believe that sustainability is a shared goal. Collaborative efforts by organisations across the world towards implementation of good governance practices, investment in responsible businesses, judicious utilisation of resources and inculcating a culture of giving back to the society, will help in creating a robust business ecosystem and long-term value for all stakeholders. PRI's mission of bringing all such organisations on a common platform is an initiative in the direction of building a sustainable future. We aim to contribute towards this initiative and demonstrate our commitment to build a greener and prosperous society."David Atkin, CEO at the Principles for Responsible Investment, commented, "We are pleased to welcome HDFC Life as a signatory to the PRI and welcome the organisation's acknowledgement of the role responsible investment practices have in securing long-term risk adjusted returns for clients. We look forward to working with and alongside the organisation as it continues to expand the scope of its responsible investment practices."Created in 2005, by the then United Nations Secretary-General and a group of some of the world's largest institutional investors, PRI or Principles for Responsible Investment is the world's leading proponent of responsible investment.It works to understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and to support its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.
