Become an investor signatory

Our research shows that health poses a blind spot to investors. As it stands, the impact of companies on people’s health is contributing to lives being cut short and exposing assets to unnecessary financial risk. That’s why run the Long-term Investors in People’s Health (LIPH) programme. A global initiative which supports investors to give health greater priority in their work.

LIPH highlights leading practice, delivers data and insights to investors, provides opportunities for collaborative engagement, and works with investors to define metrics and improve the data and reporting on this topic. Leading this agenda is a global alliance of investor signatories.

ShareAction are leading LIPH with support and input from a range of partners, including our funders Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation, The Health Foundation and Nesta.

• Signatories gain a competitive advantage with access to early insight and support to mitigate health-related risks within their portfolios and capital allocation strategies. This includes best practice guidance, case studies, data, research, company benchmarking and briefings.
• Signatories gain support with company engagement on health-related risks and opportunities. This includes invitations to join coalition working groups on specific health-related topics like nutrition, workplace health and air quality.
• Signatories receive support to collaborate to drive greater disclosure of health metrics across relevant industries.
• Signatories gain a competitive advantage from being a leader and having made a commitment to prioritise health – a social engagement theme gaining fast momentum.
• Signatories have the opportunity to learn from one another, as well as have dialogue with other influential asset owners and managers.
• Signatories are able to feed into the direction of travel of the LIPH programme, including the sectoral focus of our corporate engagement.
