Operating responsibly.
We hold ourselves to the standards we expect of our investee companies and investors.
Our ESG Committee and team ensure that policies are implemented consistently throughout our own operations and investment process.
Park Square fully offsets carbon emissions from its own travel and office operations and supports a number of sustainability initiatives including UN-supported PRI and ILPA Diversity in Action initiative.
Responsible investing.
Park Square believes investing in well-run, stable and predictable businesses reduces risk and ultimately drives outperformance over the long-term.
ESG analysis is not simply an add-on to our financial and legal investment processes – it is an integral component. From business selection through to exit, consideration of ESG risks is a key feature in our credit analysis and portfolio monitoring.
