Home Firm Team Stories Investors access FR Sustainability At Apax, we guide companies through their sustainable journey at every stage of the investment process, making tangible positive impacts on business, society and the planet as a whole. For the past 10 years, we’ve worked closely with portfolio companies to define a sustainability approach tailored to the needs of their customers, employees, the environment and society at large. Apax sees sustainability as a foundational tool for long-term growth and a key success factor for small- and mid-size companies. From attracting talents in healthcare to reducing data-storage emissions in telecom, responsible actions must be a key driver for success. How we do it As a core element of business transformation, sustainability is incorporated in the entire lifespan of our investments with the objective of building more resilient and performing companies. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROCESSES Sustainability reporting: 100% of portfolio companies In 2020, Apax started using a digital platform called Reporting 21, designed to collect, analyze and share ESG data across all our portfolio companies.
