Megatrends such as corporate governance reforms, the energy transition, climate change hazards and the transition to a reduced-carbon economy can have significant financial impacts on investment portfolios.

Understanding how material factors shape financial outcomes is essential to durable long-term returns.

SeaTown launched an independent Sustainability team to coordinate the sustainability strategy across the firm, to capitalize on sustainability-related opportunities and to manage risk.

To ensure that material risks and opportunities are considered, our investment teams conduct holistic assessments for all investments. Our teams base their assessments on the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Sustainability Accounting Board (SASB). We have also built the infrastructure to track portfolio-level metrics, such as carbon intensity and apportioned emissions.

SeaTown is a signatory of UN PRI and a member of the IFRS Sustainability Alliance and the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC).

Within our corporate operations, we offset our operational carbon footprint through the purchase of high-quality carbon credits. We have also implemented an internal carbon price for certain corporate decisions, to further embed a sustainability mindset across our organization.
