*'Sustainable strategies' is defined by Ninety One's internal framework, based on the European Commission's Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation ("SFDR") criteria for Article 8 and Article 9 funds, incorporating the Level 2 Regulatory Technical Standards (EU) 2022/1288 applicable from January 2023.
**Please see Appendix 4 for further information.
***In line with recommended sustainability accounting standards, the reporting period for emissions disclosures was amended in 2022 to align with Ninety One’s financial year (1 April – 31 March). In previous years, disclosures were reported as at calendar year end. Given the substantial overlap between FY2022 and calendar year 2021, we only report FY2022 here.
