As previously communicated, a group made up of Council members and some senior leaders is currently reviewing and updating the University’s Socially Responsible Investment Policy. The existing policy, originally approved in 2016-17, informs how the University invests its funds. Given changing global contexts and investment opportunities, it was agreed that a review would be carried out to ensure that the policy aligns with our institutional values and remains sector-leading.

The draft policy, which has been composed in consultation with staff and students, is due to go to Council in July. In keeping with a commitment to openness and transparency, members of the University community can now review and submit written feedback on the draft policy until 5pm on Monday 23 June.

If you would like to review the draft policy please email internalcomms@sussex.ac.uk to request a copy.
