London (United Kingdom), 16 December 2020 – The report, available for download on Triton´s website, aims to document Triton’s commitment to relevant and significant environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and gives our stakeholders an overview of how we have performed in these areas. This report summarises our ESG programme and how we integrate it into what we do, including details of our ESG materiality assessment, material Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and approach to managing climate-related risks and opportunities. It also contains baseline ESG performance data from 2019 against which we will measure progress going forward.
“We are pleased to present our first Responsible Investment report which sets out our programme and the progress we have made. We’re beginning to estimate the financial value preserved and created from our ESG programme, piloting an approach with metrics linked to energy efficiency improvements, accident minimisation and absenteeism reduction. It is encouraging to see the results of our portfolio companies’ hard work on employee safety and welfare, focusing on improving metrics and targets to keep people safe and, for some, gaining industry recognition for excellent performance,” said Graeme Ardus, Head of ESG.
ESG is a critical element of Triton’s toolkit for building better businesses, and our responsible investment policy and approach are aligned with the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. Triton’s achievements were also recognised externally by the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), who rated us A+ for two modules in our most recent annual Transparency Report.
“We want to be at the forefront of this agenda for the long term – not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it ensures we meet our stakeholders’ priorities. Our trusted relationships, combined with our ESG expertise, give us a competitive advantage in securing new investment opportunities,” said Peder Prahl, Director of the General Partner for the Triton funds.
