Integrating ESG

To drive commercial returns, we integrate ESG considerations into our investment due diligence and post-investment monitoring and engagement.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

In examining each investment opportunity, we evaluate the DEI efforts of the GPs and portfolio companies involved.

Supply chains

With the increasing complexity of supply chains, we are especially focused on the treatment of people at every stage of the process.

Climate change

Considering how climate change and the decarbonization of the global economy influences investment outcomes is critical for us to protect and add value for our clients.

Impact investing

Impact investing in private markets is well positioned to unlock compelling opportunities aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, including those around decarbonization, empowerment, natural capital, health, and sustainable communities.

Our perspective

Learn more about StepStone’s research and insights from across our business as we contribute to our community.

StepStone integrates ESG considerations as it endeavors to address all material risks and commercial considerations during due diligence. StepStone focuses on delivering portfolio value protection, risk mitigation, and value enhancement; where each client’s portfolio is aligned to the client’s investment objectives. As part of this objective, StepStone does not automatically exclude any sector or limit its investments to those that meet specific ESG metrics, except where an account is explicitly designated as such or where a client has affirmatively placed such restrictions on its portfolio. StepStone works to implement client objectives and requirements in part by working to ensure that our due diligence is as rigorous as possible to deliver competitive risk-adjusted commercial outcomes for our clients.
