Responsible Investment in Practice

We consider material environmental, social and governance factors alongside commercial, financial and operational considerations across investment analysis, ownership and stewardship. This helps us understand material risks and opportunities, strengthen resilience and support long-term value creation.

Explore Our Approach

Our PRI Commitment

Singularity AMC LLP has been a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since 2023. The PRI Principles provide an important reference for how we incorporate ESG considerations into investment analysis, ownership practices, stewardship and responsible investment reporting.

How ESG Is Integrated

Singularity considers material ESG factors across the investment lifecycle, from initial screening and due diligence through investment decision-making, ownership, monitoring and exit review. The depth of review reflects the investment context, information available, ownership rights and Singularity’s ability to engage or influence.

Investment Lifecycle

  1. 01 Screening

    Initial ESG relevance and exclusions

    Review sector exposure, business model, geography, known controversies and alignment with Singularity’s ESG Exclusion Policy.

  2. 02 Due Diligence

    Material ESG assessment

    Assess relevant environmental, social and governance matters alongside commercial, financial, legal and operational diligence.

  3. 03 Investment Decision

    ESG inputs into investment review

    Bring material ESG findings into Investment Committee materials, risk assessment and transaction documentation where relevant.

  4. 04 Post-Investment Onboarding

    Translating findings into priorities

    Carry relevant diligence findings into onboarding priorities, ownership plans and management engagement.

  5. 05 Monitoring & Stewardship

    Reviewing progress and follow-up

    Track material developments, incidents, agreed actions and progress through portfolio review, action planning and engagement.

  6. 06 Exit Review & Learning

    Reviewing progress and unresolved matters

    Consider ESG progress, unresolved issues, evidence quality and stewardship learnings where relevant to exit preparation or internal portfolio review.

From Assessment to Action

Through its ESG Management System (ESGMS), Singularity identifies material ESG matters, sets relevant portfolio priorities and follows progress through monitoring and stewardship. The approach is practical and tailored to the company context, available information and Singularity’s ability to engage or influence.

How We Work with Portfolio Companies

  1. 01 Assess What Matters

    Identify material priorities

    Review company information, management inputs and relevant evidence to understand the ESG matters that require attention in the context of the business.

  2. 02 Translate Priorities into Action

    Support practical implementation

    Where appropriate, material findings are translated into management priorities, action plans, clearer ownership, systems and review mechanisms.

  3. 03 Monitor & Engage

    Follow progress through stewardship

    Review material developments, agreed actions and supporting evidence, and engage with management where further follow-up is required.

Portfolio Enablement

Singularity’s engagement is shaped by what is most relevant to each company. Depending on the business and its stage of development, this may involve strengthening governance and accountability, workforce and safety practices, climate and resource visibility, stakeholder processes, or reporting and evidence.

The aim is to help portfolio companies build stronger internal systems and management discipline that support resilience, consistent execution and long-term value creation.

Periodic Portfolio Review

Company information and material priorities are refreshed periodically to reflect relevant developments and support continued monitoring and stewardship.

Stewardship in Practice

  1. Identify

    Material ESG issue, incident, gap or opportunity

  2. Engage

    Company dialogue, evidence request or management discussion

  3. Document

    Engagement notes, owner, response and follow-up

  4. Monitor

    Track actions, KPIs, risks and progress

  5. Escalate

    RIC or senior review where material or unresolved

  6. Review

    Learning, reporting and stewardship priorities

Stewardship may include management dialogue, information requests, evidence review, action tracking and escalation where material issues require further attention.
