What is ESG?
At its simplest, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) refers to how businesses consider non-financial factors, such as environmental issues, social impacts and good governance practices, within their operations, products produced and services provided.
Through active ownership, private equity firms are uniquely positioned to support best-practice approaches to ESG at scale across various sectors.
At Sagemount, we look at ESG both from a risk perspective, but also as an opportunity to drive value creation. We align our ESG program closely with our Alpha Plan to generate sustainable financial returns for investors and our communities.
