THE INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY RISKS IN ACORN LIFE DAC'S INVESTMENT DECISION - MAKING PROCESS

Acorn Life DAC does not have a policy on the integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision making process. This is because we outsource the fund management of our investment funds.

Acorn Life DAC's financial advisors (including tied-insurance intermediaries) do not currently integrate sustainability risks into their insurance advice as the only insurance products they may offer are those provided by Acorn Life DAC.

NO CONSIDERATION OF ADVERSE IMPACTS OF INVESTMENT DECISIONS ON SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS

Given the relative size of our company and the range of investment funds that we currently provide, we do not currently assess the impact of investment decisions on sustainability factors as part of investment due diligence or disclose the outcome of such an assessment to investors.

This position will remain under review. If we decide to extend our investment funds offering to include sustainable investments, we will then consider adverse impacts of investments on sustainability factors as part of our investment due diligence as required under the SFDR.
