Private Credit Insights
Episode 6 | ESG considerations during the decision making process
Epsilon incorporates ESG into its investment decision making processes as a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investing and what this does is guide how we run our business and how we make decisions about the borrowers we are going to lend money to.
ESG is really important to our process because what it does is that it gates the loans we are going to make and tells us the industries we won’t be lending money to for example thermal coal extraction, but it also guides the level of ESG risk we will take on any one loan investment and in the portfolio at large.
For us, ESG is really important because when its proactively managed we think that it can add a lot of value to a business and is a great tool and source of value creation in the borrowers we are going to lend money to. ESG on the whole, we think it’s really important because it drives better outcomes for our investors and is also a great way for us to contribute to the betterment of society as a whole.
