Partners Capital Sustainable Investing Report 2024-2025

19 February 2025

In the latest Partners Capital Sustainable Investing Report, we highlight our progress, challenges, and evolving approach to sustainable investing. In a constantly shifting environment, Partners Capital continues to believe that it is key to assess all financially material risks, including sustainability-related risks, to protect long-term investment performance. We engage with asset managers to ensure they appropriately evaluate these risks within their portfolios. We also seek to make investments where we see attractive opportunities, including impactful investments in certain areas of the energy transition.

Our 2024-2025 report explores the three dimensions through which we define the broader, levered impact we can have as a business:

  1. Community – We as a firm can have direct positive influence on the community, through our work with charities, through our donations, work with local communities, and our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) approach. In 2024, we strengthened our efforts to enhance diversity within our portfolio, making 10 new investments, with over $500M committed.
  2. Asset managers – By engaging with our managers to support them in improving their ESG and DEI practices over time, we have a levered influence that extends beyond our firm and clients to other investors investing via the same third-party managers. In 2024, we engaged with asset managers on sustainability and diversity, covering $12.9B1 of client capital.
  3. Investments – The investments of our managers may have a direct influence on society and environment, and we are attempting to quantify and qualitatively assess these impacts. Since 2022, we have made over $500M of environmentally focused private equity commitments and remain focused on deploying capital into sectors, companies, and assets that both contribute to and benefit from the global energy transition.
