Climate and Transition Framework
As active investors in real-economy sectors, we frequently acquire transition assets and support management teams in moving from “brown towards green.”
In sectors where energy use, process emissions, or material sourcing have a meaningful cost or market impact, we work with portfolio companies to identify decarbonization actions that align with their operational and commercial objectives. Our aim is to prioritize efforts that reduce emissions while delivering measurable business benefits, from cost savings to strengthened customer relationships.
