Responsible governance throughout Onex and across our platforms is fundamental to the success of our organization. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of good governance, which builds trust and confidence in our stewardship of capital.

Consistent with our long-held belief that responsible investing is both the right approach to investing, as well as a driver of meaningful stakeholder value, we continue to make enhancements to our sustainability program. Recent initiatives include the addition of resources to our sustainability team and the measurement and management of carbon emissions across Onex and our investment platforms. To remain aligned with emerging best practices, we participate in several industry initiatives, including the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (“EDCI”), Initiative Climate International (“iCI”), the Principles for Responsible Investment (“PRI”), and the IFRS Sustainability Alliance, among others. We expect our program to continue to expand in line with this rapidly evolving area, while remaining rooted in our founding principle of responsible investing.
