Responsible Investing

We have always considered ourselves to be a responsible investor

Our priority sectors are non-discretionary consumer businesses where sound management of environmental, social and governance issues is not only the right thing to do, but is critical to protect and create value for companies and our investors.

Sustainability

We support several responsibility initiatives reflecting our commitment to sustainable practices

We have been tracking the ESG performance improvement of portfolio companies since 2015 and by taking a forward-looking approach we ensure that improvements are embedded into each business for the future.
