an approach to investing that aims to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions, to better manage risk and generate sustainable, long-term returns.”1 It is responsible investment driven by financial implications and its main purpose is to decrease investor risk and improve riskadjusted returns.  \n1 What is Responsible Investment? PRI, [https://www.unpri.org/pri/what-is-responsible-investment](https://www.unpri.org/pri/what-is-responsible-investment)  \nEnvironmental,  \nSocial and Governance Report –July 2019  \nThere is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that companies with sustainable business models deliver improved financial returns and that investors taking sustainability into account can deliver improved risk-adjusted performance.2  \nAs long-term investors and investment managers of renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure assets, NTR is by its nature focused on critical ESG factors and the responsible stewardship of its investments.  \nNTR operates to the highest ethical standards and has a clearly defined risk culture. NTR aims to incorporate ESG best practice and ensure that a minimum risk adjusted long term rate of return is achieved.  \nIn this report NTR demonstrates how it has incorporated ESG best practices into its business across all phases of its investment cycle demonstrating how it fulfils its objective of being an investor in sustainable infrastructure while having a positive influence on the sector in which it operates.  \nThe report provides a transparent review of NTR’s performance in over 30 metrics in each of Environmental, Social and Governance categories. It then brings to life our actions across each of the areas through a number of case studies.  \nNTR operates to a well-defined ESG policy which can be found at  \n[http://www. ntrplc.com/images/","cbCaiiSwGEz5KeQK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiSwGEz5KeQK","pdf",9731016,72,"English","# Introduction\n## NTR Funds\n## NTR’s Investment Policy and Responsible Investment Principles\n## UN Sustainable Development Goals and UN Global Compact\n## Key ESG Activities This Year\n## Key ESG Metrics\n## Environmental\n## Social\n## Governance\n## Supplier Compliance with ESG Standards\n## Case Studies - Environmental\n## Case Studies - Social\n## Case Studies - Governance","[{\"question\":\"What is NTR’s purpose in using ESG factors in investment decisions?\",\"answer\":\"NTR aims to incorporate ESG best practices to better manage risk and improve risk-adjusted long-term returns, supporting sustainable infrastructure investment.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report evaluate NTR’s ESG performance?\",\"answer\":\"The report provides a transparent review of performance across more than 30 metrics covering Environmental, Social and Governance categories.\"},{\"question\":\"What examples of ESG actions are covered in the case studies?\",\"answer\":\"Environmental case studies cover activities such as construction-stage monitoring and biodiversity-related management, while social case studies highlight community fund sponsorship and community meetings, and governance includes industry leadership initiatives.\"}]","NTR Environmental, Social and Governance Report - July 2019 | PDF",181]
