Sustainable Investments
We care about the planet and the world we live in, and we recognise the need to address the fundamental challenges we face.
We believe the long-term financial case for a sustainable world is clear. So why has the shift not happened yet? One important reason is legacy: preserving what exists rather than embracing the new, and hesitating to bear the cost of leaving the old way behind, even when the benefits of the new way are far greater.
We invest in change. Technology, applied well, can accelerate the transition we need. The teams we back are building new and better ways of doing things, replacing what exists today with something better.
Sustainable businesses are stronger businesses over the long term. That is why sustainability is a core part of our investment strategy. We assess it with the same rigour as the financial, technical and commercial aspects of every investment. Once we invest, our portfolio companies set sustainability objectives and track progress alongside their financial and operational performance.
