At Affinity, we believe that integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) risks and opportunities into our investment process is essential to creating sustainable long- term value for our investors, portfolio companies, and our Firm. Since our founding over 20 years ago, we have faithfully followed sound ESG principles and in 2012, we decided to institutionalise these principles into a formal ESG programme. This included establishing our ESG policy, integrating ESG into our investment processes and training for all our investment professionals. In short, we are moving from “Shareholder Capitalism” to “Stakeholder Capitalism”, to ensure that business decisions incorporate the interests of all stakeholders. Our ESG 2. 0 Roadmap encapsulates this shift, as we take a major step forward in partnering with our portfolio companies to integrate ESG into their business and operations and to create sustainable long- term value. To support this major expansion of our ESG programme, we bolstered our internal capabilities with the hiring of a dedicated ESG resource. In support of Diversity and Inclusion (“D&I”), we became a signatory of the Institutional Limited Partners Association (“ILPA”) Diversity in Action initiative in January 2022, entrenching our commitment to advancing D&I in thePrivate equity industry.
