Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policy

Introduction

This ESG Policy provides an overview of our ESG considerations in how we operate our businesses, engage with our customers, suppliers, and the communities with which we do business.

In line with this, our ESG policy outlines how we evaluate and implement investments and the development of our projects.

The Prosperity Group of companies is committed to identifying and managing ESG considerations at a board, individual and investment level. This policy is implemented by management and reviewed annually to ensure it is in line with ESG best practices as well as legal and regulatory requirements.

The scope of this Policy is to consider The Group’s environmental impact, how we can ensure our social responsibilities are met and consider how key business decisions shape our future direction and growth.

The ESG policy applies to all locations in which The Group operates and to all its directors and employees. Management is responsible for enforcing this ESG Policy and monitoring compliance with it.
