Responsibility

Shamrock’s heritage and reputation have laid the foundation for the values that serve as our guiding principles. We are honored to be entrusted with investment decisions on behalf of our stakeholders and seek to create alignment through best practices and a strong moral compass. We continuously strive to be responsible partners, investors, employers and citizens and to conduct ourselves with the highest level of integrity in all that we do.

RESPONSIBLE INVESTING

As active owners of our investments, we incorporate ESG factors throughout our decision making process in an effort to manage risks, create value, and build better businesses. Our ESG philosophy builds on the firm’s longstanding ethos of integrity, honesty, founder-friendly partnerships, and employee-friendly growth. We will continue to evolve our approach to ESG in a way that is authentic to Shamrock and our industries of focus.

“My summer at Shamrock was amazing! I learned from the best and brightest in the private equity industry, gaining an invaluable introduction to the field.
