Our emphasis on ESG

Investing for returns that last, and for the world they depend on.

Our Approach

Sustainable businesses make better long-term investments

Environmental, social and governance factors shape how we select, structure and monitor what we invest in.

This applies to our private investments and to our approach in public markets.

Three Pillars

What we look for

Each pillar is part of our due diligence and our ongoing review.

Environmental

We back clean technology and green innovation, and look at the climate and resource impact of every business we consider.

Social

We support education and financial literacy, fair treatment of employees and customers, and the communities where our investments operate.

Governance

We look for transparent management, clear accountability and sound risk controls in every company and partner we work with.

How We Apply It

From first look to long-term hold

ESG is a working part of our process, not a footnote.

Before we invest

ESG risks and opportunities are part of our due diligence. We decline opportunities where governance or conduct concerns cannot be resolved.

While we hold

We engage with the companies and projects we back, and ask for progress on agreed ESG priorities.

Where we focus

Green innovation and education are core areas of our private investment portfolio.
