Investing responsibly

Assessing ESG factors

Our Adviser is committed to the consideration of material environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues in connection with its business operations and investment activities.

Our Adviser believes that incorporating material ESG factors in investment decision-making has the potential to meaningfully contribute to financial returns and shareholder value of the Firm and the organizations in which it invests.

Our Adviser prescribes to the following principles:

  1. ESG assessments must be integral and complementary to the investment decision process, including our Adviser’s internal investing cycle. 
  2. Assessments should enhance a deal team’s view of a business and strengthen its overall diligence and analysis. 
  3. Tools, processes, and procedures should be proportionate to the nature of the investment and the fund’s objectives.
  4. Our Adviser’s approach must be able to scale at pace with its investment ambitions. 
  5. Our Adviser’s assessments must be sufficiently robust enough to substantiate its decisions, but not disproportionately cumbersome and resource-inefficient to impede its ability to be good stewards of capital.

Transparency of sustainability risk policy

Our Adviser is an indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (together with its affiliates “Blue Owl”) and observes the ESG and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies of Blue Owl. Our Adviser integrates ESG factors into its investment process. When evaluating investment opportunities, our Adviser considers ESG risks associated with such opportunities as well as whether there are serious ESG or reputational concerns with regard to prospective portfolio companies or other assets. In particular, our Adviser evaluates material ESG risks, mitigating factors and opportunities applicable for the asset type (and the industry as a whole).

Based on each fund’s investment objective and investment strategy, our Adviser considers ESG risks to present a limited near-term impact on the returns of the funds that it manages, with greater impacts likely to be experienced over time. Our Adviser expects to implement mechanisms to identify material ESG issues in making investments in portfolio companies and to periodically evaluate whether such issues are likely to impact the returns of an investment and, consequently, the returns of the relevant fund. Please see our ESG Policy for more information.
