Our Focus
Supporting the management teams of our portfolio companies in accelerating growth depends almost entirely on the performance of its people. We therefore consider it our duty and responsibility to promote diversity, inclusion and equality within our portfolio companies, as well as help to create a happy, secure and integer workplace.
Many studies show that companies that have a diverse and inclusive team have the best access to talent, operate more effectively, and inspire employees to perform their best. HPE practices this belief in its own firm and considers this key for any of its portfolio companies.
Employers that provide a safe, healthy and stimulating work environment will see that sickness rates and staff turnover are lowest in their industry. It will also be in a better position to make a positive impact on society.
Our Commitment
HPE is committed to integrating ESG across all four stages of the investment cycle:
- Deal sourcing: for each potential investment target HPE is analyzing, the investment team considers ESG risk factors
- Due diligence: HPE performs an ESG due diligence for new investments.
- Portfolio monitoring & engagement: HPE Growth has implemented both ESG and SDG impact evaluation into its investment and monitoring processes
- Exit approach: following the investment horizon, we discuss the success of improvement plans and priorities, along with suggestions on how to continue to improve
