Responsible Investment

As a long-term investor in infrastructure assets, Utilities of Australia Pty Ltd (UoA) recognises the importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in both investment decision making and the ongoing management of UTA’s infrastructure assets.  UoA believe that the appropriate consideration of ESG issues will increase the probability of sustainable outperformance over time, and that a strong ESG focus is consistent with our long-term objectives and our fiduciary responsibilities to investors. 

UoA has a vision for UTA to deliver industry leading environmental, social and economic outcomes, and to be recognised as a global leader in responsible infrastructure investment.

UoA are committed to the measurement of ESG metrics and benchmark performance against accepted industry standards such as the GRESB Infrastructure Fund Assessment. UoA believe that setting medium-term ESG targets allows us to articulate clearly our ESG expectations to stakeholders and allows targeted improvement strategies to be developed by UTA's investee companies.

Morrison's purpose is to invest wisely in ideas that matter and, in doing so, it aims to create long-term value for its clients, the environment and society.  Applying an industry leading responsible investment approach across each element of the investment process is closely aligned with Morrison's purposes and its corporate values.  The Morrison Responsible Investment Policy is available on its website.
