LeapFrog among top scoring managers in UN PRI Assessment
December 11, 2024
London, UK: LeapFrog Investments has achieved high scores in its 2024 Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI) assessment, including the highest possible rating of 5 stars in two critical modules – Policy, Governance, and Strategy and Direct – Private Equity – and four stars in the Confidence Building Measures module.
These scores highlight the firm’s leadership in integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment practices, while also delivering competitive returns that align with our “Profit with Purpose” philosophy. LeapFrog’s result in the first two modules was among the maximum score allotted by the UNPRI, and comfortably above the median across all assessed modules, highlighting the firm’s commitment to setting new benchmarks for excellence in responsible investment.
SUMMARY SCORECARD
PRI reporting is the largest global reporting project on responsible investment, with over 3,000 signatories submitting reports. Since becoming a signatory in 2013, LeapFrog has continuously enhanced its practices to address systemic ESG risks and uphold the highest standards of governance, unlocking value for investors while delivering meaningful social and environmental impact.
The UN PRI Assessment evaluates signatories’ adherence to the six foundational principles of responsible investment, which promote ESG integration, active stewardship, and transparent reporting. As the world’s largest global reporting initiative for responsible investment, the PRI framework requires annual reporting across multiple modules, fostering accountability and progress in sustainable investment practices.
LeapFrog remains committed to advancing responsible investing, creating lasting value for stakeholders, and inspiring broader adoption of Principles across the investment industry.
