Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR)
SDR disclosure documents
Consumer facing disclosure"At this time, HICL has chosen not to apply a sustainable investment label, however, given the Company’s investment proposition and sustainability characteristics, and to ensure that consistent and reliable sustainability information is available to HICL’s investors, the Investment Manager has already made available consumer-facing and pre-contractual disclosures in respect of the Company. The disclosures can be found via the link on this page.
The Investment Manager will continue to monitor the FCA’s approach to sustainable investment labels and will review the Company’s investment approach for any alignment with such a label as matter of best practice. InfraRed will also continue to monitor the general pace of SDR label adoption across the industry over time."
InfraRed will make available product-level sustainability reports on an annual basis in accordance with chapter 5.5 of the ESG Sourcebook, and which will be included as part of the Company's annual sustainability report in the future.
ESG policy
Overview
A sustainable management approach is an imperative for long-term outperformance. HICL’s assets on average have concession lengths that extend over 25 years and as such, short-term profit maximisation does not work.
As a responsible owner of essential public assets, HICL’s ability to deliver its investment proposition over the long term is closely linked to the delivery of positive stakeholder outcomes for the broader community.
HICL's sustainability strategy is implemented across four pillars:
- Environment: Preserve the natural environment and mitigate the impacts of climate change by investing in the energy transition, delivering climate resilient infrastructure and working to reduce carbon emissions from HICL’s portfolio.
- Communities: Positively impact the communities in which HICL’s assets are located by actively addressing the needs of clients, end users and other key stakeholders.
- People: Promote fair and safe conditions as well as diverse and inclusive workplaces within HICL’s portfolio companies and across the supply chain.
- Governance: Ensure that HICL maintains high standards of ethics and integrity through the rigorous implementation of policies and the provision of transparent and balanced disclosure.
