Previ applies for PRI

Rafael Castro, Previ’s Internal Controls and Compliance Executive Manager, has applied for a seat on the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Board in 2020, in the Asset Owner category. This is an important step for Previ, which has a strong Responsible Investment background. We proudly take environmental, social, governance and integrity (ASGI) criteria very seriously in selecting and managing investments and benefit plans.

But we want to go further. We know that our work will be more effective once we become part of the PRI Board, an international initiative supported by the United Nations (UN), which brings together institutional investors, asset managers and service providers.

Check out the message from Rafael Castro and download his statement:

Promoting a sustainable business environment is a growing concern for organizations. For this reason, Previ seeks to continuously improve its investment criteria, a goal that has been increasingly pursued in the last two decades.

One of these improvements is to disseminate the principles for responsible investment not only in-house, but also in companies in which Previ holds stakes and in society as a whole. As such, in 2006 Previ became the first institution in Latin America to become part of the PRI.

As one of the first signatories, Previ had a key role in attracting other Brazilian pension funds and institutional investors to the PRI. Until 2017, our entity had a representative on the oard. In 2020, the time has come for us to try once again to reassume this leadership.

The election for the PRI Board is open until December 4th. Only signatories can vote, totaling more than 3,000 votes worldwide, with over $ 100 trillion in assets under management.
