Integrating Sustainability into Our Investment Process
We seek to embed material sustainability considerations and evaluate risks and value creation opportunities throughout our investment process. Following acquisition, we actively look to advance sustainability initiatives and improve sustainability performance in driving long-term value creation throughout the investment's life cycle. Our investment processes align with the PRI.
We tailor sustainability due diligence to each investment and follow a structured approach, leveraging relevant industry frameworks.
- Seek to assess sustainability-related opportunities and risks and factor them into the overall investment decision. Leverage leading industry guidance to identify sustainability factors most likely to materially impact the financial condition or operating performance of companies in a sector.
- As part of our Sustainability Due Diligence Protocol, we provide specific guidance to investment teams on assessing bribery and corruption, cybersecurity, health and safety, human rights, modern slavery and climate-related risks.
- Where warranted, perform deeper due diligence, working with internal experts and third-party consultants.
All potential investments must incorporate sustainability matters into their evaluation and be approved by the Investment Committee.
- Investment teams outline for the Committee the merits of each transaction and material risks, mitigants and significant opportunities for improvement, including those related to sustainability.
Upon company acquisition, for assets where we have control, we create a tailored integration plan that includes any applicable material sustainability-related matters for review and execution.
- It is the responsibility of the management teams within each portfolio company to manage sustainability risks and opportunities through the investment’s life cycle, supported by the applicable investment team.
- Management teams regularly report to their respective boards of directors from both financial and operating perspectives, including key performance indicators that incorporate material sustainability factors, such as health and safety, environmental management, compliance with regulatory requirements, and, increasingly, GHG emissions.
- When preparing an asset for divestiture, we seek to outline potential value creation deriving from several different factors, including relevant sustainability considerations. Where applicable, we also prepare both qualitative and quantitative data that summarize the sustainability performance of the investment and provide a holistic understanding of how we have managed the investment during the holding period.
