London (England), 06 September 2022 – Triton Partners is pleased to announce the release of its third annual Responsible Investment Report, which tracks the ESG performance of Triton and its portfolio companies over the calendar year 2021.
This latest report comes ten years after Triton first became a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and is part of the firm’s longstanding efforts to integrate ESG considerations throughout its work. It reflects Triton’s belief that ESG factors are both an important risk management tool and a powerful lever for value creation, that allow the building of better businesses and positive impact to go hand in hand.
The latest report explores how Triton’s approach to ESG has evolved over the past decade, details the firm’s latest initiatives, and quantifies the progress made over 2021. Highlights and key areas of focus from the report include:
- Triton now uses sustainability-linked loans, embedding ESG targets into credit facilities.
- Triton announced a commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, and in the interim 100% of our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions continue to be offset.
- 89% of our portfolio companies have at least one woman on the Board and/or in top management, up from 74% in 2020.
- 78% of portfolio companies conducted a formal board review of their ESG performance at least twice a year, and 42% did so every month
