Australis Partners believes that ESG factors can impact all of our stakeholders, including our clients, portfolio partners and the communities where we operate.
Australis Partners is committed to executing the investment objective of each of its clients in a responsible manner. As a responsible investor, we foster the proactive consideration of environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) factors in our investment research and due diligence processes alongside financial, commercial, and strategic considerations.
Our ESG policy adopts the International Finance Corporation’s performance standards, an internationally recognized benchmark for environmental, social and governance risk management. Assessment of the performance standards is integrated into Australis Partners’ investment analysis from the initial screening until exit with the aim of improving portfolio performance.

We are signatories of the Principles for Responsible Investment and member of Data Convergence Initiative.

Australis Partners is signatory of Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in its investment cycle and active ownership.

A systematic and informed approach to identifying and managing ESG issues across the portfolio will protect, and may significantly enhance, investment value.

Sound ESG management can create operating efficiencies that translate into cost savings and improved financial performance with positive impact on exit multiples and the ease of exit.

The goal of Data Convergence Initiative is to create a critical mass of meaningful, performance-based ESG data from private companies by converging on a standardized set of ESG metrics for private markets. The standard allows GPs and portfolio companies to benchmark their current position and generate progress toward ESG improvements, while enabling greater transparency and more comparable portfolio information for LPs / Investment Managers.

As a GP member of ESG Data Convergence Initiative, Australis Partners provides on a yearly basis certain ESG metrics, anonymized by portfolio company, to a third-party aggregator.
