ESG

ESG is part of how we invest

At DGC, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is considered both in the businesses we invest in and in the communities around us. We believe responsible investment extends beyond financial performance to the way businesses operate and the impact they have on the people and environments around them.

Our approach

ESG considerations are integrated across our investment process, from screening and due diligence through to portfolio management and reporting.

Our framework covers environmental performance, workforce and community impact, and governance standards across the portfolio.

Creating Impact Beyond the Investment

The DGC Fellowshipgives young talent hands-on experience through internships, with the opportunity to work alongside our teams and gain practical exposure to the business.

Youth & Leadershipsees DGC supporting student initiatives including ARKIS MUN and NISMUN, creating opportunities for young people to engage with ideas, debate and leadership.

Literacy & Learningsupports our commitment to encouraging reading and expanding access to books.

Supporting Our Communities

Through our portfolio and our people, DGC supports initiatives that contribute to the wellbeing of the communities around us.

Living More Sustainably

Environmental responsibility also starts with the actions we take ourselves.

For Earth Day, DGC team members planted and cared for their own seedlings at home; a simple initiative designed to bring sustainability into everyday life.
