A Message from CODI

Vice President, Head of ESG - Zoe Koskinas

CODI endeavors to be a leader in responsible investment and management practices, which we believe enables our middlemarket business partners to leave a sustainable legacy for future generations. ESG is critical to our company’s success. CODI is built to help our companies achieve long-term, sustainable success by leading the industry in responsible investment practices, taking care of our people and our planet, and holding ourselves to a higher standard of transparency and accountability.

Our goal is to generate measurable social and environmental benefits that align with our values and create strong financial returns. We work to be transparent and accountable in all aspects of our business. This imperative is driven through our unique business model, which enables us to invest in people, processes, and growth opportunities that facilitate long-term transformational change for our companies and the world they operate in.

Our ESG goals and action plans are very important not only to us but to all our companies’ overall business strategies. With our most recent acquisition of PrimaLoft and their Relentlessly Responsible mission, we knew that PrimaLoft was the right partner for us. A company like PrimaLoft’s ability to retain and recruit talent, preserve engagements with mission-critical suppliers, vendors, and other partners, manage customer relationships, and otherwise secure its license to operate is being shaped by our stakeholders’ view of their sustainability credentials.

The volatility that we face today only underlines the importance of businesses like ours and PrimaLoft stepping up with purpose.
