CEFGroup is one of the largest groupings in climate finance in the world and is a founding member of the Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investment (GRASFI) and the One Planet Sovereign Wealth Fund research group, placing the Otago Business School in an elite group at the forefront of climate finance.
NZ Super Fund

The Guardians has a long-standing commitment to Responsible Investment believing the environment, social and governance (ESG) factors are material to long term returns. ESG considerations are therefore integrated into all aspects of the Fund's investment activities, from investment selection and due diligence to ownership activities such as monitoring our external investment managers, exercising our voting rights and engaging with companies to improve their ESG policies and practices.
