Cartica is a signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI).

Cartica believes that an enterprise's commitments to quality corporate governance and to high standards of environmental and social responsibility are mutually reinforcing and provide tangible positive benefits to shareholders in the long run. The Principles are voluntary and aspirational. They provide a flexible framework that Cartica and other investors can adapt to add value to their own decision-making and ownership practices.

The six Principles (www.unpri.org) provide guidance on:

• Incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into investment analysis and decision-making processes;
• Being active owners and incorporating ESG issues into ownership policies and practices;
• Seeing appropriate disclosure on ESG issues from the entities invested in;
• Promoting the Principles within the investment industry;
• Working collaboratively to enhance the effectiveness of the Principles;
• Reporting progress on implementing the Principles.
