ESG at Oakley is set out as a proprietary framework to integrate good business practices, future-proof1 investments and provide transparency to stakeholders.
Based on the sectors Oakley primarily invests in, and aligning to industry best practice as well as deep sector experience, ESG topics that are most relevant to the investments have been identified. This is the starting point when assessing ESG during due diligence, when engaging with portfolio companies and when defining firm-wide ESG priorities.
The materiality of ESG themes is assessed based on the likelihood a risk or opportunity will be realised, and the financial, reputational and regulatory impact it will have on the business and wider stakeholders.
