Treville Capital Group ESG Philosophy Statement
BACKGROUND
Treville Capital Group LLC ("the Firm") provides solutions across the capital stack, with the ability to support companies throughout their lifecycle. Through our asset-based credit, capital solutions, and venture capital investment strategies, the Firm's affiliates provide customized solutions across the capital structure.
Our affiliates invest in both emerging and established businesses, often with a focus on the technology sector, where we can leverage our deep industry knowledge and extensive networks to position portfolio companies well and to ensure we are value-additive investors.
We believe that environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) risks and opportunities may be material to investment performance. Along with our affiliates, we believe in taking an active approach to assessing material ESG issues within the investment process. The integration of ESG into our affiliates’ investment processes is consistent with the values of the Firm, exemplifying our rigorous, tactical and straightforward approach.
Our commitment to responsible investment and ESG integration, along with that of our affiliates, has been developed in consideration of the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).1
ESG PHILOSOPHY
- The Firm acknowledges that ESG risks and opportunities may impact investment performance and value returned to investors. As such, we believe that the consideration of ESG factors within the investment process is aligned with the fiduciary duty our affiliates hold to their clients’ capital.
- The Firm believes that material ESG factors are those that may impact the financial condition or operating capacity of a company, and thus considers the integration of such material ESG factors to be relevant to the investment activities of our affiliates.
- The Firm believes in the power of collaborative action, transparency and engagement, and encourages our affiliates to engage with founders, management teams, fellow investors, clients, and others to further their responsible investment activities and produce positive outcomes
- The Firm acknowledges that ESG best practices are evolving, and may change based on market preferences, regulatory action, or other. The Firm commits to stay informed of and aligned with best practices, and to make resources available to our affiliates to do the same
- The Firm commits to upholding corporate practices that align with our ESG philosophy across our business activities
ESG GOVERNANCE
ESG efforts at the Firm are guided by the operations teams, as well as various employees of our affiliates. Such employees will assist the relevant ESG Committees of each affiliate entity in the implementation of their ESG strategy, and ensure the affiliate’s ESG strategy is aligned with this philosophy statement. Other Firm employees may be assigned certain responsibilities related to our ESG efforts, as deemed necessary.
The Firm’s policy on ESG can be made available for review upon request.
