Our Approach
Applique believes that durable enterprise value is built on sound environmental, social, and governance (ESG) foundations. We integrate ESG considerations into our advisory work and our own investment activity, calibrated to the nature, scale, and complexity of each situation.
Advisory & Investment Integration
Across mandates and principal investments, we consider material ESG factors including:
- Climate-related risks and transition planning
- Resource efficiency and supply-chain resilience
- Workforce, human-capital, and human-rights considerations
- Data ethics, privacy, and digital responsibility
- Governance, board effectiveness, and stakeholder accountability
Regulatory Alignment
Where applicable, we have regard to relevant frameworks including the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Taxonomy, and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Our Own Operations
Within our own firm, we work to maintain a responsible operating footprint, support continuous professional development, foster a respectful workplace, and uphold the governance standards described elsewhere in this Trust Center.
