    RiverRock is proud to be a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, the world’s foremost advocate for responsible investing. ESG criteria are integrated into all our investment decisions and we were honored to receive an A rating for Strategy & Governance in 2020.

    • At RiverRock, responsible investment is more than a strategy—it's a core principle that guides how we manage assets, aligning financial returns with positive societal and environmental impacts.
    • Our ESG framework focuses on fostering sustainable growth, reducing carbon footprints, promoting social welfare and ensuring governance standards that combat corruption and uphold transparency.
    • We emphasise selecting best-in-class investments with strong ESG performance, ensuring they contribute positively to global challenges like climate change, labour rights and corporate governance. Through these efforts, we are committed to creating lasting value for both investors and the communities in which we invest.

    Our Belief

    RiverRock’s approach to responsible investment is built on several key beliefs:

    • Sustainability and Financial Performance are Linked: We believe that companies with strong ESG practices are better positioned for long-term success.
    • Positive Impact: Our investments aim to generate measurable positive environmental and social outcomes, such as reducing CO2 emissions, improving renewable energy use and promoting social justice.
    • Transparency: We hold ourselves accountable to our investors and stakeholders by maintaining a transparent process, including robust monitoring, rating systems and regular reporting on ESG performance.
    These core beliefs shape how we manage investments, driving us to prioritise sustainability and ethical governance at every level.

    How We Do It

    RiverRock’s responsible investment strategy is grounded in a systematic approach that includes:

    • Icon ESG Screening: We apply both exclusionary criteria and a best-in-class approach. We avoid industries or sectors with negative social or environmental impacts, such as those involving controversial weapons or poor labour practices.
    • Icon Double ESG Rating System: We have developed an in-house double ESG rating system to measure the sustainability opportunity and risk management of each investment. This allows us to evaluate the positive impacts of investments on factors like poverty, CO2 emissions and social equality, while also tracking the performance and evolution of ESG risk management.
    • Icon Active Stewardship: We engage directly with companies to ensure adherence to high ESG standards. This includes monitoring their progress on sustainability goals through KPIs aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
    • Icon Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting: We conduct regular assessments and updates on the ESG ratings of our portfolio, ensuring that all investments maintain compliance with our ESG criteria.
