Our Governance

Our corporate governance framework protects and enhances value for our investors

Our Board Committees

The ISPT Board has overall responsibility for the governance of ISPT and achieves this through the following committees:

  • Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee
  • Conflicts Governance Committee
  • Nominations Committee
  • People and Culture Committee

 

ISPT’s Governance Structure

ISPT’s Board has the ultimate responsibility for the sound and prudent management of ISPT and its business operations.

The primary responsibility for ESG also rests with the Board, including approving our ESG Strategy, objectives and targets and reviewing our progress each quarter. The Board has delegated oversight of the design and implementation of ISPT’s Responsible Investment Policy, and monitoring its overall effectiveness, to the Board’s Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee (ARCC).

The role and functions of each Board committee shown below are documented in separate terms of reference that are reviewed by the Board annually and are available on the ISPT Investor Portal.

 

 

 

ISPT maintain a ‘do no harm’ investment and operating philosophy and responsible investing principles are embedded throughout our business. We have a number of formal policies to outline our commitments and ensure we comply with our legislative obligations, while also upholding the ISPT DNA. These include:

 

Human Rights Policy

We act ethically and responsibly and our formal Human Rights policy outlines our commitment to upholding internationally-recognised human rights standards. Our policy embeds human rights principles within our operations and ensure the values of our business partners and suppliers are aligned. Read more here. 

 

ISPT Code of Conduct

We’re committed to conducting business with honesty, integrity and trust. We treat everyone we work with, internally and externally, with dignity and respect. Our formal Code of Conduct reflects our values and provides our team with guiding principles to help make day-to-day decisions, whether at work, on work-related business, or otherwise representing ISPT.

Supplier Code of Conduct

We view our suppliers as business partners and we’re aware that their practises and behaviours can have an impact on our business and reputation. It’s important to ISPT that our suppliers share the same beliefs around responsible supply chain management that we do and our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines these expectations.
