3Launched in 2006, the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) are a set of voluntary best practice standards that asset owners and asset managers pledge to uphold in order to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues into their investment processes.
Used with permission. PRI is not affiliated with T. Rowe Price. For reference, please refer to the PRI assessment methodology and the T. Rowe Price Transparency Report. Under the PRI’s transparency requirements, all signatories complete an annual self-assessment. A significant portion of this report must be publicly disclosed on the PRI’s web site.

All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. Impact investing strategies may not succeed in generating a positive environmental and/or social impact. The incorporation of environmental and/or social impact criteria into an investment process may cause a strategy to perform differently from a strategy that uses a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate environmental and/or social impact criteria or relies solely or primarily on financial metrics. There is no assurance that any investment objective will be achieved.
ESG considerations form part of our overall investment decision making process alongside other factors to identify investment opportunities and manage investment risk. At T. Rowe Price this is known as ESG integration. As part of our wide range of investment products we also offer products with specific ESG objectives and/or characteristics.
