WE ARE INVESTORS FOCUSED ON ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE ISSUES

Responsible ESG behavior is a founding principle of Pacific & Plains Capital.  Each Founder sits on our ESG Screening Committee.

Our firm's organizational design includes a range of ESG compliant policies consistent with the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment.

ESG principles underpin our entire business including:

• Management company operations: Across all levels of the firm we target diversity, inclusion and meritocracy, free of unfair bias, and actively seek to minimize the firm's negative impact on our natural environment.
• Investments we make: Each investment has a proprietary Pacific & Plains ESG Score which is holistically considered as part of our credit evaluation and weighted in our credit risk analysis no less than the highest weight assigned to any other risk factor.  We do not invest in businesses which utilize or cause certain negative ESG externalities.
• Fundraising: We directly reflect investor ESG considerations and objectives in structuring all portfolios and investments..

We believe that great corporate and professional citizenship, superior investment performance for our clients, and profitable operation of our business can all be complementary and mutually beneficial objectives.
