When ECI signed up to B Corp in 2023, it helped us to define our role and ambition within the wider ESG ecosystem. Not only to improve the impact of ECI as a business but also to work closely with our portfolio companies to help them on their ESG journey. As an investor, we have a role to help them deliver profitable growth, but beyond that we also want to help them to improve their impact on their stakeholders and the planet. B Corp helped us look at where to focus and to make a continued plan for the future – committed to improving our impact at ECI and the companies we work with. To do this, we’ve invested in our capability to support those businesses to grow and become more resilient, and we will continue to do so going forward.
In our inaugural Impact Report we wanted to look at the five areas where ECI is most focussed as an organisation and the areas where we most commonly help the management teams we work with. Those are: decarbonisation; DEI; employee engagement; cyber and charity. Find out more about the work we’ve already done across these areas, as well as our targets and objectives for the future:
