Incorporating ESG in investment decisions and active ownership

. . . Maximizing Sustainability Value. Minimizing ESG Risks.

®

We work with corporations and private equity firms to realize ‘Sustainability Advantage’ in their investments - from strategy / policy development, through analysis and due diligence, to post-transaction value realisation and compliance / reporting.

Responsible Investment. ESG is reshaping business models and is becoming intrinsic to transactions and portfolios. Done well, it unlocks competitiveness, profitability and access to capital — and strengthens trust as customers, investors, employees, societies and governments expect businesses to help build a fairer, more sustainable world.

Investment Decisions. Expectations on disclosure, governance and real-world outcomes are rising. Financially material factors — climate and nature, human capital, diversity and inclusion, cybersecurity and supply-chain integrity — belong in the thesis, model and deal files. We integrate them so risks, dependencies and upside are explicit, owned and trackable from underwriting to exit.

Active Ownership. Stakeholders expect investors to manage sustainability outcomes within fiduciary duty, aligning activity with recognised frameworks such as the UN SDGs, PRI, IFRS S2 (TCFD-legacy climate disclosures) and SASB-informed topics. We design stewardship strategies that turn priorities into measurable results — focused engagements, voting guidelines, escalation pathways and clear reporting.

Forces driving the growth of responsible investment

> Financial Materiality:

Integrating material ESG factors improves downside protection, reveals operational and strategic levers, and supports risk-adjusted returns.

> Client Demand:

Asset owners and beneficiaries expect managers to align investments with values and outcomes, evidenced by transparent, comparable reporting.

> Regulation & Policy:

Requirements for clear, reliable ESG disclosure and stewardship continue to expand, reflecting the sector’s role in addressing systemic risks (e.g., climate, labour standards, supply-chain integrity).
