Strong ESG approach to investment and asset management

Infrastructure assets are, by definition, constructed and operated in and around the community they serve, and hence have an impact on the population and the environment. As long-term investors, Axium holds the conviction that sustainable development and ethical investment are essential to long term value creation. We also believe it is our fiduciary duty to our investors to integrate ESG issues to our investment activities.

 

The Manager has established a set of policies that outline our vision and commitment towards integrating Environmental, Social and corporate Governance matters (ESG) into our business endeavors as managers of infrastructure investments and ensure that the firm’s values and principles are shared amongst employees and various stakeholders. Axium has developed and adopted various procedures and tools that cover ESG practices throughout the investment process, from due diligence to asset management. They describe and outline Axium’s approach to integrating ESG considerations into our activities and help identify risks and opportunities that may impact our ability to create value for our stakeholders. These policies set the tone and discipline expected by all team members to continue to diligently apply our investment strategy.
