Responsible investment

Our ESG Investing Framework

Partners Group integrates ESG into all stages of the investment process. In our ESG & Sustainability Directive, we have defined ESG avoidance criteria, which outline the sectors and business practices we do not invest in. 

Partners Group has defined Decarbonization & Sustainability, along with New Living and Digitization & Automation, as one of the three giga themes in our thematic investing driving our sourcing efforts. We believe that, just as digitization has driven business transformations over the past two decades, sustainability will shape the industry leaders of tomorrow. This giga theme also forms part of our transformational ownership approach.

Our ESG & Sustainability Directive

Our ESG Investing Framework is anchored in our ESG & Sustainability Directive, which describes our overall approach to responsible investment, including how we integrate material environmental, social and governance factors, alongside commercial and financial considerations, into our sourcing, due diligence and ownership practices across all of the asset classes in which we invest. 100% of our AuM is covered by our ESG & Sustainability Directive.
