Why is ESG important to us?

Our own investors care
UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI)
743 investors representing a collective capital of USD 25 trillion
The investors have committed to :
“To integrate consideration of environmental, social and governance issues into investment decision-making and ownership practices, and thereby improve long-term returns.”
“At AlpInvest Partners, we promote the integration of ESG in investment processes as well as increased transparency in the private equity industry….”
— Maaike van der Schoot, AlpInvest Partners
“AXA Private Equity considers ESG issues to be a core component of its investment philosophy and believes that compliance with the UNPRI will result in superior investment performance….”
— JérémieDelecourt, Director Corporate and International Development, AXA Private Equity

Our Own Private Equity Portfolio Companies Care
“Sustainability issues will
be critical to the future
success of our business”
93 percent of CEOs believe that sustainability issues will be critical to the future success of their business*

Managing these issues effectively is critical to smart investing
“We consider ESG issues not only because it makes us good citizens, but because we believe that thoughtful management of these issues is critical to value creation….
“Our approach focuses on creating shared value through initiatives that benefit our limited partners, our portfolio companies’ employees and their bottom lines, as well as other stakeholders, the environment and society in general.”
George R. Roberts and Henry R. Kravis

The Private Equity model and ESG

Long-term perspective
Active ownership
Communities of practice
“…We no longer have a share price to worry about and we are able to make decisions to create value in the long term rather than needing to focus on quarterly reporting….”
“…One of our owners leads the business and both owners are easily accessible to talk about strategy and implementation…”
“…our CSR activities have increased in scope and intensity since privatization and KKR has involved Alliance Boots in its Green Portfolio Program.”

The beginning of a journey
“While we are not flawless and we may make choices that do not satisfy everyone, we are committed to considering these issues and managing them responsibly. It starts with our private equity investment decisions, continues through the work we do with our portfolio companies and culminates in the value that we create for our investment partners, our portfolio companies and the communities in which they operate.”
