ESG Investing
Overview
Our ESG investment business focuses on sustainable investment opportunities in the Eurasia region, deploying private equity capital into early and late stage growth companies. We are one of Asia’s earliest to adopt sustainability and ESG-minded investment, with robust deal sourcing capabilities, efficient capital deployment, significant track record, and excellent market reputation. Since the launch of our first ESG fund in 2010, we have been targeting industries such as clean energy and the energy transition, water safety, agriculture & food technology, transport & logistics services, and infrastructure IoT. These sectors are particularly relevant for the economic development of some of the world’s largest markets in APAC, CIS, and MENA. At the heart of our investment strategy is our drive to discover synergies between the dynamic economies across the Eurasian continent, sourcing the best technologies globally and helping to deploy locally, where the demand is strongest.
