ESG
leaving the world better than we found it
OUR PATH TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
At MiddleGround Capital, we believe that doing good is good for business and we’re not afraid to lead the way. From energy-saving projects to community volunteering, our latest Sustainability Report highlights the milestones we’ve reached and the path we’re on when it comes to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. Whether you’re an investor, a potential partner, or just curious about how we’re making a difference, you’ll find examples, data, and stories in our report outlining how we’re leaving things better than we found them.
Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) refers to the three central factors in measuring the sustainability and societal impact of a company. We are committed to ESG considerations into our investment practices and ownership policies.
