## 6. Governance and oversight
Asset Management has established an ESG Steering Committee comprising senior stakeholders from across the business who are responsible for guiding the ESG strategy and assessing ESG risks and opportunities for the business.
The ESG Steering Committee meets on a quarterly basis.
The senior portfolio managers are responsible for the development and maintenance of responsible investment frameworks and policies for the strategies they manage.
They are also responsible for the implementation of their responsible investment policy within their teams as appropriate.
Each investment team is responsible for the accurate assessment and reporting to the Investment Committee, where relevant, of financial and non-financial ESG risks. Material ESG issues are documented and discussed by the Investment Committee and are an important input for the final investment decision. Certain ESG issues may be flagged to be reviewed during the ongoing investment monitoring process.
