Responsible leadership at Coller Capital
Advocacy is an important pillar of our programme as a secondary investor. Coller seeks to share and encourage ESG best practice throughout the private markets ecosystem, acting as an advisor to many GPs, LPs, and industry bodies.
As thought leaders within our industry, Coller founded the Farm Animal Investment Risk and Return (FAIRR) Initiative in 2015, now the world’s fastest-growing ESG network. A collaborative investor network with over $70 trillion of assets under management, FAIRR raises awareness of the material ESG risks and opportunities in protein supply chains, helping investors to safeguard the long-term value of their portfolios and exercise influence as responsible stewards of capital.
The Initiative’s work has been widely recognised. In 2021, FAIRR’s Sustainable Proteins Engagement won the SIA Eco-Systems Category Award, and in 2019 FAIRR itself was named Most Outstanding Initiative on Sustainable Animal Agriculture. In addition, the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index was shortlisted by PRI for its ESG Research Report of the Year award, and FAIRR has been recognised as a Top 3 Provider of Specialist Sustainable Investment Research by the IRRI Survey.
We are proud to have played a role alongside peers in developing formal guidance for private equity on net carbon zero, backed by science-based targets (and approved by the SBTi)”
