Sustainability at TorQuest
At TorQuest Partners, we believe that evaluating sustainability considerations—both at the firm level and in assessing potential investments—can help identify risks and opportunities relevant to long-term fund performance.
Responsible investment practices provide an additional lens for identifying risks, uncovering opportunities, driving innovation and creating long-term value.

Sustainability factors, such as financially material ESG risks and opportunities, often affect investment performance. That is why at TorQuest we believe factoring ESG into our approach is key to generating long-term value. Taking sustainability factors into account in our decision making enables us to craft more sustainable long-term strategies for our investors and portfolio companies. We consider sustainability factors across three core activities.
Part of our holistic investment approach is assessing value and risk through a sustainability lens across origination, due diligence and deal execution.
Our four guiding principles factor into our teams’ active engagement and continuous monitoring of TorQuest portfolio companies.
We embed sustainability into TorQuest’s day-to-day office activities, external relations, and talent attraction, retention and development.
Across our entire organization—TorQuest leadership, management team and employees—we are accountable to upholding our responsible investment principles and policy in all we do.
Sustainability is part of our culture, informing how we assess opportunities, engage investment partners, manage our operations and interact with portfolio companies, all of which have sustainability policies and practices of their own.
