Exercising our rights and responsibilities
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
A duty to deliver holistic outcomes for our clients that goes far beyond the financial
We are deeply committed to our active ownership and stewardship responsibilities. We aim to maximise overall long-term value, as well as consider our impact on economic, social, and environmental systems.

COLLABORATION
Working with Like-Minded Peers
Osmosis was part of an early practitioners’ group on the EU Taxonomy with the UN PRI (United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment) and participated in GRI’s (Global Reporting Initiative) technical expert group on waste.
Through PRI Spring, we have led or co-led engagements with chemical and mining companies over the past two years, contributing to commitments on biodiversity and greater transparency around nature-related lobbying.
We also engage companies annually through CDP’s Non-Disclosure Campaign and participate in FAIRR initiatives focused on water stewardship, pollution reduction and biodiversity across global food systems.
A BOLDER APPROACH
Tackling Non-Disclosure Head-On
Despite increasing disclosure of sustainability information by global corporations, several large companies continue to demonstrate a reluctance to publish environmental performance figures. This prevents us from making useful comparisons of these firms against the market.
Osmosis regularly engages with companies to encourage and develop their environmental disclosures, but our own Non-Disclosure+ Campaign strives to make a greater impact by seeking support from our clients and collaborating investors.
By joining forces with fellow investors, many of whom are large institutions at the forefront of the transition to a more sustainable allocation of capital, our campaign seeks to make significant strides in tackling non-disclosure of environmental indicators in some of the world’s largest corporations.
“Osmosis was founded on the principle that allocators of capital carry a responsibility to deliver both positive financial and environmental outcomes for their investors."
