Senatla Capital has developed and implemented an ESG Policy which ensures ESG considerations are embedded into the culture of the organization and play an integral role in the day-to-day fund activities, investment processes and decision making.
We acknowledge that ESG issues impact the funds and portfolio value over the long term. Through research and better understanding of the risks and impacts associated with our portfolio investments, we attempt to reduce risk to asset valuations and improve long term risk adjusted returns to meet beneficiary liabilities better. Additionally, by effectively leveraging ESG factors to drive sustainable outcomes, we can enhance reputation and brand awareness, and build trust and confidence with investors and stakeholders alike.
The management of ESG issues involves managing ESG risks in the funds that we advise, ensuring as reasonably practical, investments operate in a way that meet the interests of all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers and the societies in which they operate and are located. Where applicable, these expectations are monitored and reported on to ensure on-going performance and continual improvement throughout the investment lifecycle.
Our approach to ESG is guided by a host of applicable national and international ESG guidelines and good practice standards. Application of the listed standards and frameworks are integrated across the investment lifecycle in a consistent and robust manner. Therefore, all funds under management and associated portfolio companies are expected to act in accordance with these requirements.
