Responsible Investment

Charlesbank is committed to responsible investment, integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the core of our process.

Responsible Investment Policy

Diversity

Incorporating diverse perspectives into the evaluation of investments and the management of our portfolio companies allows us to make the best decisions. We strive to cultivate inclusive environments at Charlesbank, and in our portfolio, that welcome individuals with a range of backgrounds, ideas and opinions. We are committed to advancing these efforts and to fostering a culture that embraces individual differences, in turn helping us attract and retain a high-performing and diverse workforce.

We believe collaboration among team members who bring a range of perspectives and experience is key to our creativity and success. Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace can help us generate broader insights, more innovative thinking and deeper discussions that make us better investors.

Giving Back

We strongly believe in using our influence and resources to be a force for good in the broader world. With a long-standing culture of social responsibility, staff members of all levels actively engage in charitable, philanthropic and volunteer activities both locally and nationally, including through our annual firmwide community service day. In addition, our firm's philanthropic program supports a range of non-profits that seek to improve educational and socioeconomic inequalities, social justice and global public health.
