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.

- 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.

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.
