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
