Privity Credit’s earliest fund was cornerstoned by one of the world’s leading investors focused on sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. 

Through that experience, Privity Credit has strongly embraced a sustainability and ‘responsible investment’ philosophy guiding how we manage our core business, as well as promoting this philosophy amongst all key stakeholders. 

We live our approach to sustainable investment and ESG policies more deeply than simply defining industries or companies of inclusion and exclusion. Privity Credit as a group measures performance across three key metrics; economic returns; credit rating profile of the borrower; and an ESG and sustainability scorecard. 

In line with our overarching investment philosophy, we believe consideration of ESG factors within Privity Credit’s investment decision-making practices provides greater insight into areas of potential risk and opportunity that will impact the value, performance (risk and/or return) and reputation of the investments we undertake. 

Our approach to active investment management is based on an investment process that fully integrates sustainability analysis into our decision-making and is focused on long-term performance. 

Privity Credit’s approach to investment management is grounded in its process that integrates sustainability analysis into our decision-making and is focused on long-term performance. 

A sustainable company is: 

One whose current earnings do not borrow from its future earnings; 

One whose sustainability practices, products and services drive revenues, profitability and competitive positioning; and 

One that provides goods and services consistent with a low-carbon, prosperous, equitable, healthy and safe society. 

Privity Credit has an expansive ESG policy that covers its corporate culture, investment processes and operational and supply chain procedures which is available on request at enquiries@privitycredit.com.
