Founded in 1994, Threadneedle Investments is one of the UK’s leading asset management firms, managing more than £72.2 billion of assets (Dec 2006) for a wide range of clients including pension schemes, insurance companies, private investors, corporations, mutual funds and affiliate group companies.

At Threadneedle, we believe that well governed companies will outperform over time and that analysis of governance, social, ethical and environmental factors should be incorporated into stock selection as they have the potential to significantly impact returns. Consequently, visible management of the risks and opportunities presented by these factors is integral to our investment decision-making process.

Key to our approach is engagement and dialogue with the companies in which we invest. As active investors we regularly meet with management and board members to exercise our influence in a positive and responsible manner. This is an important relationship, providing us with deeper understanding of the financial and extra-financial aspects of the business and focusing the management of these companies on our expectations.

Trucost Plc (www.trucost.com) is an environmental research organization that quantifies environmental impacts in financial terms. Trucost measures the environment impacts of companies of any size, sector or geography, providing independent, comparable data for fund managers, analysts, companies and government agencies. Trucost has an International Advisory Panel of leading academics in the fields of economics and the environment, who assist in the ongoing development of its methodology.

"The kind of numbers that Trucost provides could help alert mainstream fund managers to the importance of environmental issues for shareholder value. This approach could help firms like mine, which have been assessing environmental performance for years, to focus more on shareholder value rather than qualitative judgements about companies." - Morley Fund Management.

"[Trucost] is something that we as investors have a significant interest in because understanding the scale of externalities is important to us in understanding the risks, in economic and financial terms, that businesses may run going forward." - Hermes.
