ESG Practice | Cedarlake Capital Joins the UNPRI


In August 2022, Cedarlake Capital officially became a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), signifying Cedarlake Group's commitment to adhere to the highest international standards and to actively engage in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investment practices. The group is dedicated to aligning the interests of investors with the sustainable development goals of society and the environment.

 

The UNPRI, initiated by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and launched in 2006, is a global organization that brings together asset managers, owners, and service providers. It is committed to advancing the practice of responsible investment and developing a sustainable financial system worldwide. 

 

The PRI is the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment. It works to understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, and to support its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.


The UNPRI acts in the long-term interests of its signatories, of the financial markets and economies in which they operate, and ultimately of the environment and society as a whole.The UNPRI is truly independent. It encourages investors to use responsible investment to enhance returns and better manage risks, but does not operate for its own profit; it engages with global policymakers but is not associated with any government; it is supported by, but not part of, the United Nations.


Cedarlake Group has been taking "Digital Technology" and "Green Tech" as the major investment themes. The group believes that a digital era built upon green technologies is the esscence for a sustainable and intelligent future. Cedarlake Group upholds responsible investment principles and fully integrates these guidelines in all investments. 

 

By establishing an ESG framework policies within the company, Cedarlake Group has been incorporating ESG guidelines and goals in its investments as well as working together with portfolio companies, industry partners and all stakeholders to promote the idea of ESG-friendly to create sustainable values.
