Responsible investor approach

4.5.2 Actively enforcing the incorporation of ESG principles throughout the investment cycle

Description Risks and opportunities

Policy and strategy As detailed in the graphic below, Antin has developed a comprehensive process integrating ESG factors at all stages of the investment cycle. This process is also described in Antin's Responsible Investment Policy, which is publicly available on its website and updated annually. Sample ESG issues that Antin assesses in its portfolio include, but are not limited to, climate change impact and adaptation; energy management; water management; air, water, and soil pollution; biodiversity; noise pollution; waste management; occupational health and safety; labour relations; employee wellbeing, training and development; diversity and inclusion; community engagement; corporate governance; business ethics; personal data protection; and responsible sourcing. Further, Antin’s Sustainability Team has developed internal ESG management tools and frameworks for the investment team to employ throughout the investment cycle.

Antin’s portfolio companies operate in infrastructure sectors exposed to multiple and varied ESG issues. Identifying and addressing these issues and ensuring the effective implementation of responsible investment and sustainability practices throughout the investment cycle, is particularly crucial to Antin’s business. Antin strongly believes that engaging in ESG matters enables it to diminish business risks, boost productivity, reduce costs, and grow revenue in the portfolio, while, in turn, meeting fiduciary responsibilities. Responsible investment is also key from a regulatory standpoint, as Antin is subject to a variety of sustainable finance regulations across different jurisdictions (including the EU SFDR, the EU Taxonomy, and Articles 29 and 173 of France’s Climate Energy Act) that will only expand in coming years.

In addition to formal processes and procedures, Antin created an ESG Club in January 2019 to foster the sharing of ESG best practices and expertise in its portfolio.
