ESG approach

Our focus is fostering sustained growth through responsible investing. 

Bunker Hill believes that effective corporate governance and a commitment to social and environmental responsibility are part of a sound investment program and that managing ESG issues can create value for portfolio companies.

Bunker Hill routinely reviews and monitors portfolio company ESG performance and ESG information is incorporated in reporting materials prepared by each portfolio investment.
