“We are working with companies to both create sustainable value in the portfolio, and to have an impact on people and planet,” said Allison Spector, the new Head of Environmental, Social and  Governance (ESG) at One Rock Capital. “By helping them transition to net-zero, and helping them achieve other sustainability goals that might coincide with commercial goals, we believe that this can be even more impactful than just investing in low carbon sectors or sectors that have achieved these types of goals early and easily.”

Watch the video to hear Spector explain One Rock’s implementation of deep value creation into its investment strategy, and how it aligns business priorities and stakeholder priorities through the lens of ESG. The partnership-based approach helps portfolio companies in real economy sectors achieve sustainability goals while retaining price and performance. This interview was conducted by Mary Kathleen Flynn, Editor-in-chief, Mergers & Acquisitions, for our PE Innovators in ESG Speak virtual event.
