Sustainable investment
Out of concern for the future of our planet and society, we integrate sustainability factors into our operations.
The concept of sustainable investment
ESG is an acronym for Environmental, Social, Governance. ESG investment is therefore a way of investing capital that takes into account environmental factors, social responsibility and corporate governance in addition to the purely financial aspect.
According to research, ESG factors are increasingly important to the success and long-term profitability of businesses, and integrating sustainability into the core strategy is now a necessity. Increasing awareness of our impact on our planet and society in the investment process contributes to a better understanding of company business models and a more accurate measurement of risk. When we make decisions while taking into account three non- financial macro-factors: Environmental (E), Social (S) and Governance (G), we can limit the negative impact of humans on the environment.
Financial market participants also have an important role in the process of transforming the economy towards a more sustainable environment and society. This involves adapting the activities of financial institutions to the principles of sustainable development, whereby identifying and managing ESG-related risks in a way that takes into account changes in the business environment.
These issues are taken into account both at the level of PFR TFI’s operations and the managed funds. In their case, the scope and type of factors taken into account depends on the investment policy of a given fund.
Guided by the interests of participants in the investment funds it manages, PFR TFI adopts the principles of sustainable development and ESG standards, which cover issues relating to environmental protection (Environmental), social responsibility (Social) and management, corporate governance and anti corruption (Governance).

News and comments
ESG regulations concern new areas where market practice is still developing. Therefore, at PFR TFI, we participate in market initiatives that aim to exchange knowledge and good practices in the field of sustainable financing, as well as monitor planned legislative changes. We also share knowledge ourselves by publishing articles and comments that concern this area.
