ESG

for our partners & their B2B clients

At Channel, our award-winning strategy seeks to deliver long-term performance by investing in partners and their B2B clients that demonstrate strong management of their environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities.

Our Process

Our well-established investment selection criteria underpins our portfolios, which combines fundamental and ESG considerations of the investee companies with sectoral and geographic analysis. Our ESG due diligence process identifies material ESG controversies and evaluates our underlying companies’ ESG risk management practices.

Channel also undertakes an engagement approach on lower scoring entities, engaging with companies to gain insight into ESG risks and actively influence, through sustainability KPIs, the management of these factors in line with industry best-practiced standards.

The outcome is a firm that integrates ESG into every step of the investment decision-making process, thereby avoiding companies with weak ESG performance or exposure to controversial activities and ultimately, sustainably generating attractive long term financial returns.

As a signatory to the UNPRI, ESG principles are embedded throughout our business.
