FENGATE - 2021 ESG Case Studies

Introduction At Fengate Asset Management (Fengate), our mission statement is: We deliver excellent investment results and fulfill lives through the impact of our work. Responsible Investment, our practice of incorporating environmental, social, and governance factors into our investment processes, forms the foundation of our mission. Fengate is a leading alternative investment manager that invests on behalf of institutional and high net worth investors across infrastructure, private equity, and real estate. We believe that responsible corporate behavior and responsible investment are intrinsic to strong, long-term investor returns and align such principles with our portfolio objectives in each of our business lines. In 2018, Fengate became a proud signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment, which promotes the application of six foundational principles into business operations and investment management processes in the belief that ESG factors can positively influence financial performance. The purpose of this policy is to set out Fengate’s responsible investment beliefs, objectives, and approach to integrating ESG assessments throughout the investment processes across each of our asset classes, to deliver long-term sustainable returns for stakeholders. This policy applies to each of Fengate’s business units; infrastructure, private equity, and real estate. Due to differing asset classes and investment strategies, each team is independently responsible for their own investment decisions, assessment of material ESG factors, and incorporation of the assessment into their investment processes.

Responsible Investment in Practice Private Equity Case Study eStruxture In Q4 2017, Fengate Private Equity reached financial close on a co-investment in eStruxture Data Centers (“eStruxture”), which provides a network and cloud-neutral data center solutions. In Q1 2021, Fengate Private Equity executed a follow-on investment in eStruxture and Fengate Infrastructure completed a new investment, supporting the acquisition of additional colocation-focused data center facilities. eStruxture is now one of the largest national data center platforms in Canada, with a total of 14 facilities comprising over 32 MW of built capacity and nearly 500,000 sq. ft. of white space.

Environmental – Energy Management and Water Efficiency Sustainability is at the forefront of partnering decisions at eStruxture, driving collaboration with partners that share a common goal of sustainability. In Montreal, Quebec and Vancouver, British Columbia, eStruxture has partnered with Hydro Quebec and BC Hydro to ensure 99% and 95% of the power supply, respectively, are generated from renewable sources. In addition, as data centers are one of the largest consumers of water, eStruxture is focused on water effciency, taking steps to minimize the use of water as well as committing to become water-neutral across all its legacy facilities. The use of the latest compressor technology along with utilization of free cooling as a result of the location of facilities enables eStruxture to minimize water consumption.

Social – Diversity and Inclusion Diversity and inclusion are two of the core values at eStruxture, with a long-term vision to continue to diversify its workforce, and it is notable this would be a key differentiator in the current market. eStruxture prides itself on the diversity of its workforce, with over 50% of its workforce from diverse backgrounds, while nearly 40% of the company’s executive team is female.
