Scope
This vision reflects a general framework for our approach to ESG across our operations and investment decisions. However, we acknowledge that varying investment strategies may entail certain nuances to be applied to this general approach.
In cases where Black Dragon has a limited ability to influence and control the consideration of ESG issues in connection with an investment, we will ensure that the elements of this vision will be tailored to fit stakeholders’ needs in order to yield positive results. For instance, those cases in which Black Dragon is a minority shareholder or has limited governance rights.
