Responsibility
We endeavour to be a forward looking responsible owner
We understand that our activities have an impact on the environment and on the people and communities where we and our portfolio companies operate. We believe that engaging with a broad set of investment criteria that includes environmental, social and governance ("ESG") considerations mitigates risk and helps to capture long-term value. Triton has made a public commitment to incorporate ESG principles in the way we behave by developing our ESG Policy.
We endeavour to be a forward-looking, responsible owner and a partner to all the stakeholders with whom we work, including employees, customers, suppliers, management teams, board members, industrial advisers and society at large.
Triton is a proud sponsor of Level 20, a not for profit organisation that aims to deliver greater representation for women in private equity.

The Board of the Fund Manager is responsible for the implementation of the ESG programme. Graeme Ardus is the dedicated ESG professional responsible.
Our Environmental, Social Responsibility and Governance Policy
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues impact the communities where Triton and our portfolio companies operate. Triton recognises this and has made a public commitment to incorporate ESG principles in the way we behave.
Triton's Responsible Investment Policy was developed in alignment with the requirements of the UN Global Compact's ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations as well as the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
In accordance with our own and PRI guidelines, all partners and employees of Triton are expected to conduct their activities in accordance with the following business principles:
- Seek to grow and improve portfolio companies for long-term sustainability and for the benefit of multiple stakeholders
- Act as a responsible steward of investors' capital and portfolio companies businesses.
- Embed ethical, responsible and rigorous decision-making into investment processes and portfolio management activities
- Adopt effective corporate governance structures which provide appropriate levels of oversight and accountability both at portfolio company level and internally within Triton
- Manage risks effectively and seek to minimise or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment, community, workers and other stakeholders
- Communicate effectively and transparently with investors, portfolio company management, other stakeholder and the general public
- Maintain strict anti-corruption policies
- Align financial rewards with financial performance
Working with portfolio companies to find ESG solutions
We believe that taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into account is essential. Addressing ESG challenges and finding solutions with our portfolio companies leads to building better business in the communities where we and our portfolio companies operate. We also understand that focusing on ESG with our portfolio companies will protect and create value while positioning them for a better future.
We work in close partnership with our portfolio companies and support them through an ESG programme and an annual forum. This forum brings key functional leaders from our portfolio companies together to learn, share and find better solutions.
Learn more about some of the topics that we discussed at our 2018 event in ESG Forum video.
