ESG
As an active investor looking to effect operational change in our portfolio companies, we believe that we have a fundamental responsibility to a wide stakeholder group, and to society at large, to encourage our portfolio companies to adopt high ethical standards and to act in a sustainable and responsible manner.
- We believe that regular and effective review and management of ESG issues have a positive impact on customer perception, financial performance and value of our portfolio companies and that Responsible Investing is well aligned to our core business strategy and that of our investors.
- OpCapita is committed to ensuring that ESG factors are considered across the investment lifecycle of its investments, alongside financial and business performance considerations, and within its own operations.
