Our core sustainability commitments
We actively consider sustainability-related factors and have prioritized our efforts in five key areas where we believe we can have meaningful, measurable impact over the long term.
Active governance & stewardship
To promote active and engaged governance, holding ourselves accountable for driving value with high integrity in partnership with our portfolio companies and management teams
Sustainable growth & reducing climate impact
To reduce emissions and improve resource efficiency by embedding sustainability into our companies and rigorously measuring the resulting impact over time
Fair employment, engagement & well-being
To treat employees with fairness and respect, building an environment and culture that, at its core, promotes employee safety, well-being, and engagement
Diversity, equity & inclusion
To be champions of diversity and inclusion and to drive meaningful progress by cultivating a high-performance culture
Community engagement
To encourage and support our companies’ efforts to engage and contribute to their communities, locally and across the globe
Integrating Sustainability & Impact
We think holistically about returns throughout our investment and ownership processes, actively managing environmental, social, and governance factors to reduce risk, enhance value creation and drive attractive returns
In our investment approach
We anchor our investment decision-making in strategic, fact-based due diligence that considers a broad range of risks and value levers, including those related to sustainability factors. We seek to understand investment opportunities holistically, taking into account strategies, products, services, and business practices. Our investment teams strive to assess key sustainability diligence findings, elevate material risks and opportunities for discussion with investment committees, and articulate potential sustainability focus areas for post-investment blueprinting and monitoring.
In portfolio management
We believe embedding sustainability into business strategy and responsible operations is an integral part of our approach to creating value and growing great businesses. Post-investment, we are committed to driving meaningful progress across our core sustainability commitments and improving performance on material sustainability factors specific to each company. As investors and global citizens, we strive to support our environment and society by harnessing the influence of our firm, investments, and people.
