How we Help

Build a sustainable future

We believe that strong ESG performance is a core part of building successful businesses. As a part of driving long-term growth, we encourage management teams to make more environmentally sustainable and socially conscious decisions.

We understand that no one business’ goals will be the same. Our ESG assessments help management teams identify the areas where they can have the most impact and our ESG toolkit gives them practical guidance and case studies on how to deliver in these areas.

The topics covered in the toolkit include:

  • Building a social value strategy
  • Net Zero road-mapping
  • Creating an inclusive organisation
  • Engaging with charity and community

Why was MPM and B Corp a natural fit?

Mark Keeley discusses the importance of social responsibility at MPM and how that led to the business becoming B Corp certified.

We decided to be very up front and transparent on racial equity and Gurman and I shared an open letter. ECI could have been cautious and taken issue with us making such a radical move, but they didn’t, they backed us. That notion of risk taking is really important.

Case Study

Tusker

Discover how we helped Tusker achieve a sustainable future.

Tusker pivoted towards electric vehicles during our investment, leading to the sale to Lloyds Banking Group who looked to the acquisition to help support their ambitions to achieve net zero emissions targets by 2050 or sooner.

  • Supported the business in understanding the opportunity in building out a high-quality electric vehicle proposition
  • Committed Tusker to the EV100 pledge to deliver a 100% electric fleet by 2030
  • Continued focus on salary sacrifice to ensure accessibility and drive customer growth

“Tusker has seen fantastic growth including through our electric offering. Salary saving schemes are the cheapest all-inclusive way to drive electric without paying a deposit upfront and I am proud that we continue to make affordable new cleaner vehicles available to so many different employees.”

ESG can be a huge opportunity for growth, but it can be feel overwhelming if you’re at the start of your sustainability journey. We support our portfolio companies in identifying which elements of ESG their customers, staff, partners, communities care most about and then help them build achievable targets around those issues. Being able to articulate a targeted approach effectively is the first vital step.
