Judge's report

The fund’s commitment to developing a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and connecting those principles to its business priorities is impressive. Particularly, the multi-faceted initiatives and programmes focusing on youth, people with disabilities and people from disadvantaged backgrounds in leadership-development and strategic-thinking roles are innovative and commendable.

DEI is promoted through structured and measurable actions, such as being signatories of the Diversity Charter since 2006, having a workforce where 9% are people with disabilities, having a gender equality index of 91 out of 100, and strong anti-discrimination policies (LGBTQ+ inclusion, anti-sexism charters). The fund also creatively integrates intergenerational housing schemes and all tenders mandate CSR-criteria for their suppliers.
