Driving Sustainability

Apollo works every day to lead responsibly and leverage our full platform to create positive impact at scale. We believe that private enterprise can play an important role in tackling the most pressing environmental and societal challenges we face. Today, our commitment to sustainability remains a defining attribute of our Firm and embedded in our culture. We see it as more than a risk mitigator but a driver of opportunity and growth. As a part of our commitment, Apollo strives to be an industry leader in ESG data collection, transparency, and engagement with portfolio companies.

Investing and Operating with Impact

Apollo incorporates ESG considerations into many of our decision-making processes — from how we invest, to how we lend, to how our firm operates globally. 

Apollo has adopted a comprehensive Responsible Investing and ESG Policy, with customized policies for each asset class. Apollo-managed funds advise portfolio companies in prioritizing ESG issues across their operations and different lines of our business. Apollo’s Equity strategy uses a strategic framework across three overarching pillars — Sustainability, DE&I, and Responsible Stewardship. Within Apollo’s Yield strategy, we have developed a proprietary rating system to further incorporate ESG diligence into our investment process and within private equity, we have launched the dedicated Impact Platform to invest in later-stage companies aligned with specific UN SDGs.

We believe how a company prioritizes material ESG issues in its operations is essential to its success. Our robust ESG program combines our extensive experience and rigorous industry-leading reporting to help unlock value for our funds’ portfolio companies.
Carletta Ooton Head of ESG, Private Equity
Credit investors can and do play a role in encouraging positive change within issuers — ranging from ESG performance to disclosure and transparency. Our goal is that when debt matures, we’ve helped shape a stronger business.
