Singapore, 14 September 2023 – GLP Capital Partners (“GCP”), a leading global alternative asset manager that focuses on thematic investing across real assets and private equity, has released its inaugural sustainability report, prepared in reference to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standards 2021.

“While this is GCP’s inaugural sustainability report, in many ways, it is a continuation of previous sustainability reports from GLP and reflects our organization’s ongoing commitment to the integration of sustainability into our business and investment practices,” said Alan Yang, Chief Executive Officer of GCP. “We are proud to share the progress made in 2022 including enhancing our responsible investment policy and expanding it to cover our private equity platform as well as our significant investment in data collection and reporting to measure our impact and progress. We look forward to continuing to share the development of our ESG program each year.”

“Last year we refreshed our materiality assessment to consider the evolution of our business as a result of our reorganization,” said Meredith Balenske, Head of Global Sustainability and ESG of GCP. “This materiality review reinforced some of the most critical topics impacting our business globally including greenhouse gas emissions, clean energy, community engagement, biodiversity and health and safety and we added new topics covered in this report.”
