What is our ESG strategy?
We have a major role to play in making a positive impact on the lives of our citizens through our market interventions and project support.
Our ESG Strategy outlines how we, and the companies and eco systems we support, can make that positive contribution by looking at how we operate, the services we offer, and the policies we follow, through a social and environmental lens.

The ESG Strategy provides us with a framework to assess business practices and performance on sustainability and social issues and provides a way to measure business risks and opportunities in those areas.
The ESG Strategy is a living document and we are keen to get feedback from key stakeholders to allow for further refining as necessary.
Our commitment to sustainability
At Invest Northern Ireland, environmental sustainability is a core priority of how we operate. We are guided by our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Strategy and aligned with the ambitions of the Northern Ireland Climate Change Act.
We are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 or sooner, and we’re actively working to reduce our environmental impact through practical, measurable actions.
This includes:
- Improving energy efficiency in our buildings
- Cutting carbon emissions across our operations
- Reducing waste
- Promoting low-carbon travel
We also ensure that climate and sustainability considerations are embedded into our internal decision-making and strategic planning. By aligning our operations with both legislative targets and global best practice, we demonstrate that we don’t just support sustainability in business, we live it ourselves, every day.
