Focusing on ESG
The focus by investors on environmental, social
and governance (ESG) risks has accelerated in
recent years and is changing conversations in
board rooms and raising expectations of external
disclosures.
Investor inquiries and stakeholder demands for
transparency are key business drivers for ESG
disclosures, including concerns about the financial
risks posed by climate change. While climate change
affects the majority of capital markets, like other
ESG issues, industry impacts are unique. Both
the Financial Stability Board (FSB) Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and
the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
have issued industry-specific disclosure guidelines to
enable companies to navigate industry-specific issues
and investors and insurers to better understand ESG
risks.
New Mountain Capital’s ESG Policy expresses
a commitment to invest “in a sustainable and
responsible way, with a focus on improving
environmental, social, and governance issues
within our portfolio companies and at our firm”.
“We include ESG as part of our decision making
process to encourage social and environmental
sustainability as well as strong corporate
governance aiming to improve the quality of our
portfolio companies.”
Ignacio Sarria, Managing Director, NMC
