Shard Credit Partners is wholly owned and managed by its senior leadership team. With decades of combined credit experience across Europe and the US, the team is fully aligned with investors and committed to help building successful businesses
Strong governance and alignment underpin everything we do. Our approach to ESG supports better outcomes for investors and businesses alike. Actionable initiatives, including cost variable cost of finance linked to diversity objectives and sustainability-linked covenants, ensures we drive real benefit.
We concentrate on three ESG themes where our capital can create tangible change.
We encourage mixed-gender boards and management teams. More than 90 per cent of portfolio companies now have at least one female board member and a third have female equity ownership. The cost of financing improves when these objectives are met.
We invest in businesses contributing to the UK’s energy transition, from cleaner power supply to more efficient industrial processes.
We support ethical operations and fair treatment of employees, with ESG covenants written directly into our loan agreements.
We were early adopters of ESG covenants in loan documentation. These include margin ratchets to reduce the cost of financing as investee companies achieve agreed ESG objectives. This gives management a direct incentive to act and allows investors to see measurable progress.
Shard Credit Partners is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and the Investing in Women Code. These commitments align us with international standards while signalling to borrowers and investors alike that ESG is fundamental to our strategy.
