Climate action
We support the transition to a net zero economy through our investments, our portfolio companies and across our own operations.
Creating value as
a responsible investor
Throughout Investcorp’s 42-year history, we have sought to invest for a stronger future for those who trust us with their capital, for the businesses and assets we support and for the communities in which we work and live.
In the face of a rapidly changing and uncertain world – with challenges in geopolitics, economic development, new technologies and climate – that means adapting and evolving so that we continue to be responsible partners. We are committed to creating value as a responsible investor.
Our focus areas
Our sustainability efforts are guided by input and feedback from all our stakeholders, including our clients, employees, shareholders, regulatory bodies, lenders and our Board of Directors.
We continually consult our core stakeholders on their views and expectations and strive to consider multiple views when establishing our sustainability policies, practices and reporting methodologies.
As a global investment firm with presence across the US, Europe, the GCC and Asia, we see the impact of a changing climate on our firm and our investments and actively support the global transition to a net zero economy.
Our long-term goals include achieving net zero carbon emissions in our offices by 2050, targeting a 47% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. We also aim to reduce the carbon impact of our investment portfolio by ensuring transition plans are in place for relevant companies by 2030 and to support companies developing solutions that accelerate global decarbonization and address the impacts of climate change.
People and culture
We advocate for more representative and inclusive work environments and support the health, wellbeing and educational advancement of our communities.
Good people and strong culture are fundamental to the success of our business and the businesses in which we invest, as we believe that a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture improve our ability to address the evolving needs of our clients and be more competitive over the long term.
Our long-term goals encompass attracting top talent, building an inclusive and diverse global workforce at Investcorp and across our portfolio companies, supporting the health and wellness of our employees and engaging with impactful social and educational advancement initiatives in the communities where we invest and operate.
Good governance
We build high performing businesses through good governance measures including robust data protection and cybersecurity protocols.
Since inception, strong governance has been the foundation of our business, and we aim to establish robust governance practices at Investcorp and our investee companies to ensure we prioritize long-term resilience over short-term gains.
Our long-term goals are to enhance firmwide resilience against sustainability-related risks, leverage data for better decision-making, improve information transparency with key stakeholders and elevate sustainability-related knowledge across the firm.
