Sustainability beliefs and views

We recognise that we have the power to make a real difference to the lives of millions of people for the better. This is both a privilege and a responsibility which provides us with purpose.

To deliver investment returns we need a sustainable environment and society. Accordingly, we hold ourselves accountable for the impact we have on the environment and society.

We believe that a system-wide approach, considering the broader picture, will deliver better investment and real-world outcomes over time.

While JANA has its own sustainability beliefs our research enables us to assist clients in achieving their own unique sustainability goals.

We understand that the immense challenges to our physical and social environments are everyone’s responsibility to solve, and JANA will play its part.

Together, we believe we can make a substantial and meaningful contribution to our clients, their beneficiaries, and our society.

Why we act on sustainability

Together we have the power to make a real difference to millions of people.

Climate Change

JANA agrees with global scientific consensus that climate change must be addressed with urgency and ambition. Our research and scenario modelling indicates that economic growth will be harmed by inaction and that investors should build climate aware portfolios. In alignment with this view, JANA is proud to be a part of the Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative that spans both our corporate footprint and our investment advice.

Biodiversity

We also recognise that biodiversity loss is occurring faster than at any time in human history. The world simply does not have enough natural capital to last the century if we continue to consume at the current rate. JANA is on the journey of taking action to limit biodiversity loss. We are committed to maturing our approach as biodiversity data and investment opportunities become more sophisticated.

Human Rights

We support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We do this by applying a human rights lens to our decision making. An example of this is modern slavery. It is shocking to see instances of modern slavery increasing even despite increasing awareness of it. By applying the lens of the right not to be enslaved to our supply chains and investment advice, we can take practical action to support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We are constantly challenging ourselves to broaden this lens.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We believe that valuing and respecting individuals for their unique experiences and perspectives, whilst maximising their opportunities and potential, empowers us to have an enduring impact on society and the lives of millions of our clients’ beneficiaries for the better. JANA considers that a diverse, inclusive culture provides a strong foundation for sustainable, high performing investment organisations. We communicate and encourage this in our interactions with investment managers.

JANA’s Net Zero Commitment

JANA is proud to be an inaugural member of the Net Zero Investment Consultant Initiative (NZICI), which is committed to supporting the goal of global net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, across our operations and investment advisory services.

JANA has been certified as a Carbon Neutral organisation since 2020 by the Australian Government Climate Active program.

Supporting our Clients in their Sustainability Journeys

We recognise that more needs to be done amid an environment of heightened regulatory requirements and scrutiny. Our team is dedicated to supporting clients to flourish in an ever-changing world – helping to deliver investment returns that support a sustainable environment and society.

Our investment strategy integrates broad sustainability themes, such as the generation of climate-aware capital assumptions, and we continue to progress our research in climate, biodiversity, human rights and diversity.

As part of net zero commitment, we established interim targets for our Implemented Consulting business to aid a 50% global emissions reduction by 2030. Our approach was informed by global best practice frameworks, as well as JANA’s own research.

DEPTH OF INSIGHT
Sustainability is something far deeper than simply a word. It’s a deep, organisational wide belief that the choices we make today will impact the world tomorrow and beyond. We believe that by fostering and making sustainable future choices in all we do, we can maximise positive impact for ourselves and others.
