OUR responsibility
Sustainability is a lifelong journey with progressively increasing relevance for our industry and for our ability to contribute value to our planet, all our stakeholders and society. Because of this, Churchman Capital is highly committed to keep up with best industry practices.
Sustainability at Churchman Capital
Sustainability means partnering to build future-proof businesses.
Long-Term Value
We are committed to building long-term value alongside entrepreneurs and management teams. We are convinced that sustainable practices contribute to building resilient, future-proof businesses.
Sustainable Investment Process
That’s why we have anchored sustainability along the entire investment process – from deal sourcing throughout the holding period until exit. At Churchman Capital we do this in a holistic manner as we strive to create and protect value together with our portfolio companies as well as in our own organisation.
Business
Each new opportunity undergoes a dedicated sustainability screening and due diligence process to identify and assess sustainability risks and opportunities. Once the opportunity becomes a portfolio company, the team provides strategic guidance for managing sustainability topics. We also perform an annual sustainability review and benchmarking process for all our portfolio companies to monitor progress and sustainability performance.
Memberships & Initiatives
We proactively engage with the broader sustainability ecosystem of portfolio companies, investors, and peers to contribute our share towards sustainable development.
In 2024, Churchman became a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
The PRI is the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment and works to understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.
As a leading growth investment firm, we have a responsibility to act in our stakeholders’ best and long-term interests. As a PRI signatory, we incorporate ESG topics into all our decision-making processes.
At Churchman Capital, we consider the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) throughout the entire investment process.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership.
