Sustainability

As detailed in our ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) Investment Policy, we believe responsible investing is essential to deliver long-term value – to our partners and wider society.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct.

Our decision-making is guided by environmental, social and governance concerns.

Aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG)

Translink aims to align with the United Nations’ goals 8.3, 9.4 and 10.2 covering:

	Supporting and encouraging productive activities, job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation
	Advancing industries to make them more sustainable
	Promoting inclusivity

We map our Fund IV portfolio companies against the UNSDGs and apply a common vocabulary when discussing ESG issues.
