ACT Guidance

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). Whilst regulation is in the pipeline alongside growing stakeholder demands for disclosure, there is little guidance for investment companies to be able to tell their story.

The ACT Framework has been created to address this gap, as a standardised way for investment companies to understand, create and progress cultural change and be able to communicate progress effectively via reporting. Our approach recognises the importance of transparency and disclosure, but also the pressures that different stakeholders are under to collect and review this information.
