About Us Sustainability

Safeguarding Futures

Responsible investing is simply good business – it can reduce risk and can enhance financial outcomes – for all stakeholders.   It goes hand-in-hand with our organization’s values. One needs to look no further than our mission statement to understand that the notion of investing responsibly is core to our culture. We seek to enrich lives and safeguard futures. We strive to invest with partners who share our values and those of our clients.

By investing responsibly, we seek to help safeguard all our collective futures.

Environmental

We believe the actions we take today that affect our environment will impact us all. It is our collective responsibility to make thoughtful decisions that will safeguard our planet and preserve it for future generations.

Social

We believe all people, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity or nationality, are deserving of respect, inclusion, safe work environments and basic human rights.

Governance

We believe alignment of interests, fair compensation, transparency, and accountability are crucial to generating long-term performance.


Responsible Investment

Responsible investing is a global business imperative and key to building long-term value in a rapidly changing world.

Climate

Our mission statement is clear: we enrich lives and safeguard futures. In our view, there has been no larger threat to the collective futures of our investors and beneficiaries during our lifetime than that posed by climate change.

Belong@HamiltonLane

Fulfilling our corporate mission of ‘Enriching Lives and Safeguarding Futures’ requires tapping into the collective sum of the individual and unique life experiences, knowledge, self-expression, capabilities and talent that each of our employees bring to their work every single day.

ESG Data Collection, Reporting & Insights

Novata is the leading ESG data management platform built specifically to help private equity firms and private companies navigate the complex ESG landscape more easily. We are proud to be part of the consortium that created the new public benefit corporation which also includes the Ford Foundation, S&P Global, and Omidyar Network, and has the support of more than a dozen private equity firms and pension funds. The innovative platform provides:

  • A clear starting point for selecting ESG metrics  
  • Painless data collection into a secure database  
  • Data insights and analytics tools to inform investment decisions
There is a critical need for better ESG reporting – LPs are asking for it, government regulation is demanding it and trying to report with the fragmented and sporadic inputs of today is too hard. That has to change. The push for more responsible investing and for greater transparency in ESG measurement represents, I believe, one of the biggest opportunities in our industry today.
