Corporate Responsibility
UNPRI signatory
ESG Policy
As a private equity firm, we have a duty to act in the best long-term interest of our investors. At BEX Capital we value our investors and we understand the importance they attach to making successful investments. In this fiduciary role, we believe that environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues can have a positive effect on the performance of investment portfolios (to varying degrees across companies, sectors, regions, and through time).
In 2019, BEX Capital became a UNPRI Signatory and committed to apply the Principles for Responsible Investment. We recognize that applying the UNPRI Principles may help align investors with the broader objectives of society.
To the extent possible, we strive to limit our impact on the environment by reducing the use of plastic (including water bottles), limiting travel by airplane and organizing our firm events (such as off-sites and investors meetings) locally. We also monitor our carbon footprint on an annual basis and use this analysis to come up with the best ways to further reduce it.
Societal give-back
BEX Capital offers ‘X shares’ to non-profit organizations that support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals . These investors do not pay fees or carried interest and can fully reinvest their returns into supporting their mission.
