Vantage Infrastructure’s ESG mission: Turning a ‘should’ into a ‘must’
At Vantage, we embrace ESG for three simple reasons:
- Responsible investing enables us to achieve our clients’ strategic objectives;
- ESG factors can impact returns positively or negatively, and we believe systematic and effective risk management can contribute not only to resilience but also to long-term value creation for all stakeholders; and
- Most fundamentally, given the essential role infrastructure plays in the community, robust ESG processes are crucial to fulfil its social contract.
Our ESG mission at Vantage is to ‘turn a SHOULD into a MUST’. Our ambition runs through identifying areas for innovation, taking systematic actions and establishing an ESG culture and finally a deliberate practice mindset to drive continuous improvement.
