Our Impact

At Argonaut, we are committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and work

Our belief in responsible corporate citizenship is reflected in both our actions and our culture.

Through our Social Impact Committee, we allocate funding to causes that align with our values and make a meaningful difference. Our team members are encouraged to contribute in ways that matter most to them, with each employee receiving an annual charitable giving allowance and one paid volunteer day per year to offer hands-on support in the community.

Our partnerships

We proudly support organisations whose missions align with our values and our industry focus –

Our commitment to responsible investment

We recognise the importance of integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into investment decisions.

As part of our commitment to responsible investment, we are proud signatories of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and members of the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA).

These affiliations reinforce our dedication to sustainable finance and responsible stewardship.

Argonaut is a signatory to the PRI, a globally recognised framework designed to guide investors in incorporating ESG factors into their decision-making processes. Developed by investors for investors, the PRI consists of six key principles aimed at fostering a more sustainable global financial system.

By adhering to these principles, we commit to –

  • Embedding ESG considerations into our investment analysis and decision-making.
  • Practicing active ownership and engagement on ESG issues.
  • Seeking transparency from the entities in which we invest.
  • Promoting ESG awareness within the investment industry.
  • Collaborating with peers to enhance responsible investment practices.
  • Reporting on our progress in integrating ESG principles.

As part of this commitment, we continually refine our investment strategies to align with sustainable long-term growth.

Argonaut is a proud member of the RIAA, the leading industry body advocating for responsible investment practices across Australia and New Zealand. RIAA supports the development of ethical, sustainable, and impact-driven investing by providing certification, education, and policy advocacy.

Through our membership, we –

  • Align with best practices in responsible investment.
  • Support policies that foster sustainable financial markets.
  • Provide clients with confidence in our responsible investment approach.
  • Contribute to industry-wide improvements in ESG integration.

As the responsible investment landscape evolves, Argonaut remains committed to ensuring our investment strategies reflect the highest standards of sustainability and ethical stewardship.
