Capital International (Jersey) Limited (CIJL) is proud to have been recognised with the ‘Sustainable at Heart’ Award at the Jersey Finance Sustainable Finance Awards, reflecting our long-standing commitment to embedding sustainability across our business and contributing to the group’s conscious capital ethos.
What we do
At CIJL, creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders sits at the centre of how we invest, operate and grow. This is defined by our Conscious Capital philosophy, which reflects our belief that long-term success is achieved not only through financial performance, but through the positive value we create for clients, colleagues, communities and the planet.
At its core, Conscious Capital supports the group’s mission to become a Net Positive organisation – one that gives back more than it takes. This ambition is shaped by four strategic themes: Investing Responsibly, Financial Wellbeing, Climate Change and Community Impact, with responsible investment embedded through our internal policies and PRI commitments.
In our Jersey office the team has a long track record of managing sustainable investment strategies focused on themes such as the energy transition, electrification and the circular economy, helping direct capital towards long-term structural change.
Sustainability is also embedded in our culture, with initiatives such as the Conscious Capital Forum helping colleagues across the group take shared ownership of progress.
How we do it
Our approach is structured and, where possible, supported by measurable indicators, with oversight through established governance frameworks. We track progress against the World Economic Forum’s Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics, providing a consistent framework across governance, environmental impact, people and prosperity.
Operationally, we focus on reducing our footprint through practical actions, from energy-efficient buildings and recycling to more sustainable commuting, while measuring and rebalancing our carbon footprint annually.
Collaboration is also central to our approach. We were an early supporter of the Greening Jersey Trust, contributing to rewilding and biodiversity projects, and have supported carbon literacy training to strengthen understanding of climate risk across both our organisation and the wider community.
We also play an active role in shaping Jersey’s sustainable finance landscape, contributing to policy discussions through the Government of Jersey’s Sustainable Finance Steering Committee and supporting industry initiatives such as the Future Sustainable Finance Leaders group.
