At Grey Rock, we incorporate environmental, social, and governance issues into our investment decisions.
Responsible investment considers how environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues impact us, our operating partners, and the communities where we invest. We pay careful attention to ESG factors when evaluating investments to create sustainable, long-term value for our stakeholders.
Environmental
We expect our best-in-class operating partners and portfolio companies to have robust health and safety programs in place and to minimize adverse impacts on the environment and nearby communities during every phase of our investment lifecycle.
We encourage our operating partners to purchase carbon credits to offset their applicable share of carbon emissions.
Social
We provide a work environment based on integrity, ethics, and fair business dealings that empowers, and invests in, our employees and treats all individuals with respect.
We’re committed to hiring the most qualified personnel regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or disability.
We believe it’s important to invest in the communities where we live and work. We’ve donated to local charities supporting causes including domestic violence victim support, early childhood education, veteran support programs, disaster relief, and cancer patient support and research.
Governance
We ensure that our businesses practices and those of our portfolio companies fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations by implementing and following rigorous accounting, reporting, compliance, and risk management policies and procedures.
Our board of managers oversees these policies and procedures, and we require our employees to complete annual training courses related to compliance with them.
We value diversity of opinions by encouraging dissent to avoid groupthink in order to enhance investment analysis.
