Portfolio Engagement on ESG

Portfolio Engagement

Thank you for welcoming us into the team and giving us the opportunity to learn so much about the work you do. It has been great to gain such a unique insight into private equity at such an early point in our careers. We really appreciate the way that you fully immersed is into the company during the experience.

As Bellrock entered its sale process we undertook an extensive programme of work on our ESG reporting processes. The Horizon team, lead by Giuliana Cian were instrumental in guiding us in reviewing our sustainability, social value and corporate governance data reporting, establishing a set of KPIs and workstream programmes. Their expertise was invaluable in supporting us through this.

I have been very impressed by Horizon’s approach to ESG reporting and measurement. The measurement frameworks are thorough and rigorous, linked to the UN SDGs The process of data capture and entering has been clear and well supported, which is vital since this is a complex area involving many stakeholders in our business. I have been very grateful for the level of support throughout. Taking this kind of committed approach to ESG is a hugely positive move from Horizon and allows us to tell our employees that we are working with investors who share our values. It’s hard to put a value on intangible things like this, but I believe it’s extremely helpful in terms of motivating the team to work toward our commercial goals!
