Responsible Investors
ESG principles and values are integrated in all aspects of the AshGrove business. Our approach to responsible investing is through a broad lens and we do not view it simply about risk reduction but equally as importantly, an opportunity for enhanced value creation throughout our portfolio companies. Promoting responsible and sustainable business practices in the companies we invest in will not only enhance investment performance, but will contribute to sustainable benefits for the economy, environment, and society.
“We see a broad landscape of opportunities for innovation and value creation within a sustainable approach to investing. We support the growth of companies, are committed to doing so responsibly and to promote responsible and sustainable practices with every company with whom we interact. Encouragingly, we find that many companies in our target sectors share our beliefs and values within their approach to ESG and sustainability”

Leading by example
We are committed to conducting all of our business and investment activities in a way that avoids negligent, unfair or corrupt business practices. As a responsible steward, we also adhere and comply with regulations and best practices governing the protection of human rights, the environment, and the labour practices of the jurisdictions in which we, and our portfolio companies, conduct business.
An inclusive workforce; an innovative firm
We have long been committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce. Our aim is to continue to build a diverse pool of talent and enhance equal opportunities and inclusion through our hiring strategy. We aim for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and for each employee to feel respected and valued, enabling them to work to their full potential and contribute to our collective goals. We firmly believe diversity and the encouragement and nurturing of an inclusive culture helps to drive broader thinking, which in turn forms the basis of innovation and drives exceptional results at AshGrove
Climate Action
We recognise our fiduciary responsibility to address the long-term financial risks associated with Climate Change, but our team is also passionate about protecting the future of the planet. In 2022, AshGrove pledged a Carbon Neutral goal and partnered with Greenly and Lune to further our commitment to addressing climate change and to be in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. We offset our carbon emissions by backing some unique and exciting conservation projects.
