Applying Principle 5

Principle 5 means collaborating with other PRI signatories and stakeholders on common goals, both through the PRI and other industry initiatives. Some of the ways investors can implement Principle 5 are outlined below.

• Industry initiatives. Support and participate in industry initiatives on sharing knowledge and tools, pooling resources, reporting and harmonising responsible investment practice. Examples include the PRI, GRESB Infrastructure and the Long-Term Infrastructure Investors Association. Encourage infrastructure investor, asset management, pension fund and private equity associations to expand their reach to responsible investment practices in infrastructure.
• Collective action. Join forces to address relevant emerging ESG issues.
• Rating tools. Make use of asset sustainability rating tools such as IS Rating and Envision Standards.
• Co-investors and lenders. Share your ESG integration activities with other investors in your assets.
