We are committed to integrating ESG considerations into our investment process, as applicable. We believe that ESG integration provides an additional lens to help us understand and manage the drivers of risk in our industries, investments, and portfolios, as well as seek to generate long-term value creation where applicable, enabling us to continue delivering superior returns to our investors. A copy of our ESG policy is available upon request.

Shamrock seeks to build sustainable and successful companies/investments through collaborative partnership and long-term value creation. Our Value Creation Teams design and implement customized plans to mitigate risks (including ESG-related risks), as well as leverage portfolio and industry best practices to create growth opportunities for Shamrock’s companies/investments.

In 2021, Shamrock became a founding partner of Ownership Works, a nonprofit organization with a goal to increase prosperity through shared ownership in the workplace. Through access to broad-based employee ownership programs developed by Ownership Works, we aim to create better work environments and financial opportunities for employees while we help portfolio companies improve their performance by attracting and retaining engaged employees who are invested in their company’s success.
