RESPONSIBLE INVESTING
Aligned with our ESG Policy, we consider material ESG factors associated with target companies when evaluating whether to invest in a particular company, as well as during the entire period of investment and exit.
During deal sourcing, we are guided by Creador’s Exclusion List, which excludes anti-ESG sectors such as tobacco, gambling, weapons, logging etc.)
During due diligence, all identified potential investment opportunities will be evaluated for material ESG risks as well as key improvement areas for ESG integration. We ensure investee companies agree and commit to addressing the ESG action items prior to our investment.
Post investment, CxG provides hands-on support to each of our portfolio companies to address the key ESG action items as well as to identify any ESG value creation opportunities.
