Environmental, Social and Governance

We believe that establishing and incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) principles in the investment process supports our commitment to creating sustainable companies. We recognize the importance of governance, climate change, biodiversity, human rights, civil rights, gender equality and will avoid situations that may have a negative effect on employees, external communities, and the environment. These issues are integral to our business and those of our portfolio companies. We strongly believe that companies with an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible way of operating significantly de-risk their business model and, therefore, achieve greater cost efficiencies, profitability, and higher returns for all stakeholders.
