Focus on responsible investing
We take our environmental responsibilities seriously
We take the stewardship of a company's environmental, social and governance development as seriously as the company's strategy. As the first institutional investor, we proactively support our partner companies to put in place appropriate policies and procedures, alongside strengthening operational and management information systems and processes. We recognise that companies face different challenges and each requires a bespoke approach.
​
Our Responsible Investment Committee leads this work, focusing on continuous improvement through training and education, and consulting with experts. We aim to share best-practice across our portfolio, so that we constantly improve our performance as responsible investors.

Apiary is a proud signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment. Building long-term, sustainable businesses is fundamental to our ability to deliver outstanding returns for our investors​.
Incorporating Responsible Investment into our Strategy
1
Initial Investment Identification
In addition to the requirements of our general investment strategy, Apiary considers a range of environmental, social and governance issues during initial investment identification. Apiary has committed to refraining from working with companies that fall within our investors’ exclusion criteria.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Not only do we track our portfolio companies' alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we ourselves have aligned with four of the Goals - so that we can demonstrate our commitment to creating a better and more sustainable future for all.
