RESPONSIBLE INVESTING

A Focus on Sustainability

Within food and agribusiness investing, we believe that value creation and sustainability often go hand in hand. As dedicated and experienced professionals in the food and agriculture sector, we believe we have an opportunity to drive outcomes from a sustainability perspective and remain committed to addressing these issues in an integrated fashion across our firm and portfolio companies.

 

Our investment thesis is based on a fundamental belief in the growth and value creation opportunity for businesses that help address global challenges including food security, climate, and nutrition, and thus aligns naturally with several UN SDGs.
