Acting responsibly is at the heart of what we do, both in our own business and in the way we invest.
We invest in businesses with motivated employees who provide critical products and services that are highly valued by their customers, respected by their regulators, considerate to the environment and welcomed by the communities in which they operate.
By doing this we build a portfolio that we and our investors can be proud of and will also achieve positive returns.
As part of our Policy on Responsible Investing we will always consider ESG factors during the investment process. These issues are evaluated for each portfolio company both when making the investment decision and throughout our investment.
We apply our ESG approach to all of our active funds: Montagu IV, Montagu V and Montagu VI, covering all of our €8bn assets under management (as of January 2021).
We have designed our own comprehensive operating framework, which is core to our investment philosophy and integrated into our investment process.
To identify the relevant factors to an investment, we look to understand and identify the interests of all stakeholders, such as employees, customers, suppliers, communities or the environment.
Having worked out what matters to them, we seek to identify opportunities for improvement in three interlinked areas:
Montagu believes that good ESG management is both the right thing to do and that by doing this, we generate better returns.
