Enduring value
By advancing the sustainability of our portfolio companies, we deliver on our commitment to create lasting and impactful value for investors, employees, customers, and the wider economy.
EMK's investable capital provided by pensions, endowments, foundations, government and other non-profit organisations.
"We are entrusted by a diverse community of long-term investors whose capital serves meaningful purposes. The value we generate on their behalf is measured not only in returns, but in the broader positive outcomes we enable."
Edmund Lazarus & Mark Joseph
Managing Partners
Our Responsibility
The returns we generate directly benefit millions of pensioners, students, teachers, public servants, and religious, charitable and community workers. These returns have a positive impact on the wellbeing of these individuals and the communities where they live.
Our Approach
At EMK, we actively embed sustainability principles and practices across our portfolio companies, positioning them to thrive in a fast-changing world. Supporting our businesses to be sustainability leaders is central to delivering the EMK Way - our structured approach that focuses on building resilience, competitiveness, and long-term purpose alignment.
By helping portfolio companies strengthen operational sustainability, manage risks, and capture sustainability-driven opportunities, we not only protect and create tangible value but also ensure they are equipped to deliver lasting transformation.
We see financial performance and sustainability not as competing priorities, but as mutually reinforcing drivers of success. Our commitment to value creation, value protection, and net positive impact ensures that financial performance is closely aligned with positive outcomes for society and the environment.
