As a service-based business, our direct environmental impact is limited, coming predominantly from our network of offices. Nonetheless, we strive to make the most efficient use of our natural resources. Our impacts lie in the electricity, water and paper consumed in our buildings as well as general office waste generated.

At Alexforbes we commit to performing our activities safely and managing our carbon footprint responsibly. We believe that businesses are responsible for their environmental impact and for operating in a sustainable manner.

We are therefore committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods. We do this by monitoring our environmental impacts and striving to efficiently use natural resources in our network of offices. Our impact is managed by the conscious use of electricity, water and paper, and processing of office waste. Our environmental impact is measured in relation to these categories and reported to and monitored by the setco. Measurement of water and electricity, diesel, paper consumption and waste recycling is limited to head office.

Our greatest opportunity to positively impact the environment is through our investing activities in which we invest the savings our customers have entrusted to us to administer and manage on their behalf.

During 2024 Alexforbes continued to deliver on its climate-related objectives. We have updated our carbon footprint calculation and formalised a group climate change policy as well as a bespoke Alexander Forbes Investments climate change policy. These two policies work in tandem and are taken into account by our investments business and asset managers.
