2024 Agribusiness sustainability report
AGR Partners seeks to provide investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns by partnering with companies that reflect our vision and values – including commitment to good stewardship of resources and capital.
The AGR team takes Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into account across the breadth of our business activities. We apply ESG screens when assessing different sectors to better understand relevant risks and opportunities. Once we have identified a potential partner, we maintain an ESG lens throughout due diligence and investment decision-making and, ultimately, as we monitor and manage the investment.
Our subsequent advancement of ESG principles within portfolio companies takes two forms:
- The first is Influence, which describes our advocacy for ESG-focused changes through our board participation and collaboration with management teams to advance a range of relevant initiatives.
- The second form is Investment, which involves providing financial resources to improve both efficiency and sustainability, such as by reducing energy use.
This year’s ESG Report provides a clear view of how AGR’s strategy and its portfolio companies’ sustainability efforts are aligned. Three concise portfolio company features bring this alignment to life.
AGR Partners is committed to productive dialogue and sound communications regarding ESG matters and other aspects of our business.
