Sustainable Investment Policy
In 2019, the College adopted new investment principles prioritising environmental, social and governance behaviour as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Protection of the global environment, promotion of human rights and promotion of good business ethics and employment practices are fundamental tenets of the policy, which was developed following a series of consultations involving students, Fellows, alumni members and staff of the College.
Since 2016, the College has not invested directly in high impact fossil fuels, tobacco manufacturers, or weapons manufacturers. In 2019, Fitzwilliam took the next step, placing ESG principles at the heart of the College’s investment policy, so that indirect investments in these areas will also be minimised and kept under constant review.
