Mercer gets RI tick

Mercer's funds have been certified by the world’s first certification programme for responsible investment products.

Launched in 2005, the programme is managed by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA).

As part of certification, the funds’ investment process is also assessed for how the fund managers engage at a corporate governance level with companies it invests in.

Mercer actively researches companies positively contributing to global sustainability goals, giving institutional investors the opportunity to not just avoid harm but also be part of the solution. Mercer’s updated Responsible Investment Policy contains its approach to exclusions.
