Allegro aims to build great businesses with sustainability and social responsibility embedded in our approach
As responsible stewards of capital, we acknowledge our influence over portfolio companies and our responsibility to deliver strong returns for stakeholders. We believe that integrating ESG considerations into our investment decisions not only strengthens financial, competitive, and reputational performance but also drives value for our investors.
OUR FOCUS
We have identified 6 priority ESG focus areas which we consider to be most material to our stakeholders and where we believe we can make the most meaningful contributions across allegro and our portfolio companies. These are:
- Environmental impact
- Diversity & inclusion
- Employee engagement
- Work health and safety
- Corporate governance
- Risk management
OUR APPROACH
ESG is embedded at each step of the investment process to ensure it is considered in everything we do.
We only consider investing in companies which are not in our exclusion list, and target businesses with positive impact.
Before we invest, we assess for material ESG risks and confirm that the companies are willing to align on important ESG initiatives.
We develop value creation plans which align our portfolio companies ESG priorities to their business strategy.
We implement robust reporting and governance frameworks to closely monitor the success of ESG initiatives and manage risks.
See our Responsible Investment Policy for more information on our approach to responsible investment
