In 2009 we became signatories of the globally recognized voluntary framework of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and helped lead the development of the Private Equity Growth Capital Council’s (PEGCC) Guidelines on Responsible Investment.

These principles and guidelines serve as valuable platforms for formalizing and focusing our responsible investment efforts, raising internal awareness, and providing a common language and set of expectations for our investment partners, our portfolio company management teams, and other stakeholders.

Just as importantly, we see the value of interacting with and learning from others who share this commitment. Therefore, we work regularly with our peers in these communities to help develop tools and resources and to learn from each other.
