The College supports the UN Global Compact Principles and works with investment managers to apply responsible investment policies across:

  • Ethical corporate conduct and governance

The College’s Financial Assets Portfolio specifically excludes investment in industries such as:

  • Oil and gas production
  • Tar sands and thermal coal
  • Gambling and adult entertainment
