Responsibility and sustainability are central to how we work

Integrating sustainability is essential to building strong companies that will continue to grow and deliver out-performing returns. That’s why Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is incorporated into our investment cycle, helping our portfolio implement robust sustainability strategies, processes and accountability.

Sustainability approach

We operate as a team, rather than a collection of individuals

When you work with us, you work side-by-side with some of the brightest and most ambitious people in the industry who thrive on taking responsibility and working at pace, and settle for nothing less than excellence in everything they do.
