We believe businesses whose operations are damaging to the environment are not sustainable businesses and therefore are not good investment choices. Over the long-term, companies who have such practices will experience lower returns on invested capital and may experience stakeholder backlash and reputational damage resulting in the loss of their social licence to operate.

At ECP, we believe we have a responsibility to ensure our own operations do not pose any detrimental impact on our environment. We take all reasonable steps toward ensuring we work in harmony with our planet.

We believe businesses that demonstrate inadequate corporate governance will deliver poor investment outcomes. Ensuring operations are fair, respectful and honest, should be a priority and will permeate through the whole organisation. For any company, having strong corporate governance is a prerequisite to deliver on strategic plans and business outcomes.

At ECP, we believe we have a responsibility to ensure our own governance is water-tight and ethical. To deliver this we ensure our business has appropriate risk management and compliance, that our systems and structures provide for superior value creation for our clients, and that we uphold responsible investment practices.
