ACT Signatory Commitment Statement

This form is for firms that have completed their ACT Framework responses via the Door due diligence platform. By initiating the licensing process for the ACT Standard of Corporate Culture, the above named firm is committed to be a public signatory of the standard. 

The ACT Standard captures the essence of an Investment Management company’s ‘heart and soul’ and provides professional investors with a framework to assess, measure and catalyse movement towards more diverse, equitable and inclusive firms. 

A firm’s culture and values are central to understanding how it will deliver on its real-world commitments and this includes its approach diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Embedding and living values within an organization is an ongoing journey, but underpinning it is a commitment to continuous positive progress. 

ACT Signatories recognise that investment companies play an increasing role in shaping an equitable and sustainable society, as they drive global change and action via their investment practices. The expectations of stakeholders, from clients and employees to wider society, is for investors to demonstrate evidence that value creation and stewardship of wealth is in responsible hands because they are a responsible business.
