When we published Coller Capital’s very first ESG report 10 years ago, I was clear that it was not a box-ticking piece of PR greenwash, but proof of just how seriously this firm takes its principles, values and responsibilities. A decade later, as we publish our 10th annual report, our belief in the power of ESG is stronger than ever.
We have continued to deepen ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) integration in our investment process. In 2025, we screened 890 opportunities (worth $339bn) across all of our products and invested $8.1bn. Our ESG team evaluated every prospective investment in support of our wider approach to help mitigate material risks, identify value-enhancement opportunities, as well as assess the resilience of underlying exposures, and meet our compliance requirements.
We would tend to disagree with anyone who might believe that our industry is one where a commitment to ESG cannot play a role in delivering better risk adjusted returns. It is our belief that when done well ESG can play a meaningful role and we believe the processes we have established for our latest secondaries equity fund, CIP IX: classified as an Article 8 fund under the current Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, enhances our overall approach to investment management. This fund closed at the end of 2025 as part of $17 billion of capital commitments across our secondaries equity platform.
Beyond investing, Coller Capital joined the global Promote Giving initiative in 2025. Alongside other founding signatories, we’ve pledged to donate at least 5% of selected funds’ performance fees to charities focused on healthcare, education and human well-being. At Coller, giving back is part of who we are.
In the pages that follow you can see in much greater detail what we’ve achieved, and we’re not the only ones to have noticed. This year we were pleased to be named among Private Equity News’ Top 20 Most Influential in ESG and to win, for the second time, the Real Deals Sustainability Award for ‘Best in Secondaries‘ – affirming our commitment to setting the standard as a responsible investor.
For us, ESG isn’t a fad: it’s a lens through which we view every decision, every investment and every interaction; a vision that propels us forward and helps us deliver the strong, consistent returns that our investors have come to expect.
Ten years in, that vision is still unwavering. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and here’s to another decade of leadership, innovation and impact ESG.
