ESG

Investing responsibly

Environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) factors can be an important driver of investment value, as well as a source of risk. That is why we incorporate ESG considerations throughout our investment process to generate long-term, sustainable returns.

The long-term success of ICG Enterprise Trust requires effective management of both financial and ESG factors.

Our approach to responsible investing

Our approach is defined by three key priorities:

1

Incorporate ESG factors into investment decision making

2

Partnering with managers who share a similar approach to responsible investing

3

Better identifying and monitoring ESG risks
