Investing forward with ESG initiatives

We’re committed to doing our part to help move the needle.

As a leading global growth equity firm, we make an effort to actively recognize principles in environmental, social, and corporate governance through our investment strategies, philosophies, and general business practices.

We believe that the following practices will further the development of ESG-related initiatives both internally and at our portfolio companies:

01

We continue to focus on companies that have the potential to grow and add jobs, as opposed to turnaround or distressed investments.

02

Investing in innovative technologies makes businesses more efficient so they can serve customers better, and in many cases, reduce usage of natural resources.

03

We partner with companies led by management teams committed to high standards of business conduct. Specifically, we will not invest in companies that rely on services or other production activities that involve exploitative labor/practices.

04

We’re committed to being a responsible employer by creating a culture in which we can develop diverse, high-caliber employers to give everyone at the firm an opportunity to perform to the best of their ability.

“We believe that sustainable and responsible business practices are not just good for society, but also essential for creating long-term value. By integrating ESG considerations into our investment strategies, we strive to foster a positive impact while driving growth and innovation within our portfolio companies.”
