ESG & Impact

We think holistically about returns

ESG

We believe we can create durable, scalable impact through who we are, what we value and how we engage. By nature, we are critical thinkers, problem solvers and doers, and we will not leave the issues of our time for the next generation to solve. Reflecting on the urgency and magnitude of ongoing challenges across the globe, we are inspired to do more. We commit and aspire to intentionally add value to both people and our planet, while upholding our fiduciary responsibility to achieve outsized returns for our investors.

Our commitment to lasting impact is at the heart of our firm’s purpose and values, and has led to our enhanced ESG approach. We aim to drive positive outcomes for people and our planet by engaging to have meaningful impact.

Our focus on ESG improves our investment approach and outcomes. We work toward reducing climate impact, investing in our people and diverse teams, and building long-term sustainable business models.
