Responsibility
ESG is in our DNA
Affinito Capital integrates environmental, social and governance considerations into every decision we make.
This is not an overlay or a marketing angle—it is embedded in selection, structuring, governance and reporting. Our mandate is global; our responsibility is local and longterm. We prioritise ventures and vehicles that strengthen resilience, expand access and protect natural systems and we hold ourselves accountable for results through clear targets, evidence and independent assurance.
Needs first orientation
Capital follows clearly defined human and environmental needs.
Transparency
Plain language reporting of progress, uncertainty and lessons learned.
Proportionality
The depth of diligence and assurance scales with potential exposure and impact.
The economy is transitioning. Climate volatility, pressure on natural resources, demographic change and widening inequalities are reshaping risk and value.
Solutions exist but are consistently under financed relative to need. By allocating capital to ventures and investment vehicles that deliver measurable outcomes—lower emissions, healthier communities, inclusive access—we help reduce systemic risk and create durable value.
Impact is not a side effect; it is causally linked to enterprise resilience. Ventures that improve environmental and social outcomes are, in our view, better insulated against policy, regulatory and market shocks. For Affinito Capital, this is sound risk management and prudent stewardship.
Explore our Focus Areas
Climate stability is foundational to social and economic wellbeing. Our carbon approach concentrates on three fronts:
Avoidance and reduction
Prioritising ventures and vehicles that displace highemission alternatives (renewables deployment, efficiency technology, regenerative production).
Transparency
Supporting models that protect communities and natural systems from physical climate risk (water security, nature based solutions, resilient housing and health systems).
Proportionality
Managing our own operational footprint prudently while using governance rights to strengthen portfolio decarbonisation plans and disclosure.
Directional targets guide our commitment to continuous improvement and are reviewed annually in light of evolving science and standards.
Our method converts urgent needs into investable opportunities and holds performance to account.
Set standards and guardrails
Clear minimum expectations for labour, community engagement, data protection, biodiversity interaction and anticorruption. Exclusion criteria are maintained and reviewed periodically.
Continuous improvement
Baselines and directional targets are set preinvestment. Management teams report on a compact set of decision useful indicators that are already used to steer operations. We adjust strategy, pacing, or structure where evidence indicates a better route to outcomes.
Reduce negative externalities
We assess material environmental and social risks, implement mitigations within operating plans and capital structures and require remediation where adverse impacts occur.
From origination to exit, our structure embeds ESG into decisionmaking so that outcomes are sustained, not incidental.
We invest in ventures and vehicles where outcomes and value reinforce one another.
Climate and environmental resilience
Renewable deployment platforms, regenerative and adaptive systems, nature-based solutions, circularity and efficiency.
Inclusive economies
Financial access, market participation and enabling infrastructure that lower barriers for underserved populations.
Health, education and essential services
Affordable, reliable delivery models with measurable improvements in access and quality.
Future-ready infrastructure and technology
Digital and data systems that enable transparency, lower transaction costs and extend essential services.
Capital structures are selected to fit the challenge—direct venture commitments, specialist or blended funds, co-investment partnerships, or innovative instruments (including outcome linked and catalytic tranches).

We welcome conversations with ventures, initiatives and partners aligned with our focus and standards.
