Sustainability and Impact
How we invest capital changes the world we live in
Sustainability is at the heart of both Orion Holdings. With investment strategies spanning across asset classes and themes and the long time horizon of private markets, we have the unique opportunity to accelerate positive change with the investments we make.
Our integrated investment process seeks to contribute to ESG, sustainability and impact investing via a range of strategies and themes, including sustainable cities, climate mitigation and adaptation, financial inclusion, healthcare, industry and innovation, job creation and economic growth, amongst others. Active ownership and engagement expand our principles and their implementation across the entire value chain of intermediaries and stakeholders with whom we work.
Measurement
We collect an extensive range of sustainability and impact metrics to measure the effectiveness of our investments in achieving the goals we set for each strategy, theme or sector. We track positive and negative changes generated over time to enhance the effectiveness of our active ownership efforts and inform future investments.
Intent
We strive to ensure that sustainability and/or impact are well represented in the investment objectives and complement the achievement of financial returns. We aim to select partners that are like-minded in terms of the change we target.
Putting sustainability and impact
Our Sustainability and Impact framework is based on the Operating Principles for Impact Management (OPIM). This is to ensure that sustainability is embedded in all the relevant steps of the investment process from the strategic intent to origination and structuring, portfolio management, impact at exit and verification.
