The assessment of ThomasLloyd covers two categories, "Strategy & Governance" and the investment focus, "Infrastructure", which are compared with the median for the sector.
The leading independent global proponent of responsible investing achieved an excellent score in the Assessment Report: from a standing start ThomasLloyd received 29 out of 30 points, resulting in the top mark of A+ for the infrastructure sector (on a declining scale from A+, A, B, C, D, E), and 21 out of a possible 30 points in the category, "Strategy & Governance," which corresponds to a B.

Furthermore, the assessment of our responsible investing acts as an incentive for us to keep improving our score point by point next year."
