We believe that the investment community has an important role to play in the formation of a sustainable and responsible global economy. We pride ourselves on our values of being Committed, Knowledgeable, Empathetic and Fair, and these underpin our commitment to ESG responsibility and shape our approach as investors and partners.
We take our role as shareholders seriously by ensuring that ESG principles are viewed as strategic and an important element in our investment decisions and then pursued through board governance and transparency. Even when impact is less visible, we are committed to investing in companies that not only achieve strong financial returns, but deliver value to all stakeholders without causing harm to people or the planet. Our sector focus – on software, software services, and data companies – offers opportunities to have profoundly positive impacts on people and the environment.
We are committed to become signatories to the UN Principles of Responsible Investment and to becoming an Article 8 Fund under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, as a further commitment to promote good business practice across environmental, social and governance matters.
At an individual and team level, we support and encourage charitable initiatives that are close to our hearts through charitable giving, fundraising, and pro bono support.
We are proud to have invested in a number of businesses that are driving positive change for society across environmental, social and governance behaviour:
