In Practice

Our ESG Strategy

  • Our key responsibility is to collaborate with our GPs to encourage integration of ESG best practices in their underlying portfolio companies.
  • We proactively monitor and promote the progression of ESG policies across the industry and engage in regular dialogue with other market participants.
  • Since 2013, the Investment Team has been supported by a global ESG team, made up of colleagues from different departments. Our ESG strategy, as well as our results, are documented in our global sustainability report.

“Our GP-focused approach is at the core of our sustainability strategy. Building a culture of sustainability across the investment value chain while staying ahead of the curve on global ESG trends enables us to deliver value with a stewardship lens.”
