Responsibility

At MGG, our philosophy is to make sure what we do in life is meant to have a positive benefit for all people. We seek to accomplish this by analyzing how every investment we make can bridge the gaps in our world by investing in sustainable energy, food supply, socioeconomic enhancements, and overall positive social change. Our commitment to the principles of impact and ESG investing has been part of MGG’s story since inception.

Sustainability Drivers

We became a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and guide our investments around their 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We now empower MGG’s investment professionals with a mandate to incorporate environmental, social, and governance factors into the firm’s already rigorous due diligence and investment process.

 
MGG incorporates sustainability risks, defined by SFDR as an “environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment”, into the investment process. MGG evaluates material ESG-related risks and opportunities during its reviews of potential investments. We seek to identify potential issues that could affect the value of a target investment and/or our ability to implement changes. For more detailed information, including any policies, regarding how MGG integrates sustainability risks in our investment process, please contact info@mgginvestment.com.
MGG does not currently consider the adverse impacts on sustainability factors of investment decisions. As MGG’s objective is to provide strong risk-adjusted returns for our clients and limited partners, MGG considers sustainability-factors deemed material to an investment, rather than accounting for all potential adverse impacts an investment can have on sustainability-related issues. Furthermore, the lack of sustainability-related data within private markets, which is MGG’s focus, makes it challenging to account for such adverse impacts. MGG commits to assessing the viability of considering the adverse impacts on sustainability factors on a regular basis.
The integration of sustainability risks forms a critical element of the investment due diligence process, which is ultimately what impacts the total financial return of an investment. Remuneration at MGG is tied to investment financial performance, meaning that sustainability risks are intrinsically considered within remuneration decisions.
