H2 Equity Partners incorporates responsible investment values, as well as environmental and social considerations in its business practices and interactions with portfolio companies. As a firm, we strive to operate our own business and that of our portfolio companies according to the highest ethical standards. We fully support the UN Principles of Responsible Investment – the world’s leading investor initiative for responsible investing.
As a hands-on investor, H2 Equity Partners always takes one or more board seats in the companies we invest in. These board positions are held by our own team members, not external non-executive representatives. This involvement allows us to monitor ESG matters at board-level within each of our portfolio companies and to share best practices across our portfolio.
We have integrated ESG into our investment process not only as a requirement , but also as a conviction. We believe that good management of environmental, social and governance issues, and operating in an ethical manner, are crucial parts of risk management and ultimately supports long term business (out) performance.
