Apollo Global Management Inc

At Apollo, we believe that taking sustainability and environmental, social and governance factors into account can help drive value creation, and we recognize the unique opportunity to do well by doing good through investments.

We believe Apollo is uniquely positioned to drive a more sustainable future and expand opportunity in our workplace, the marketplace, and throughout the communities where we work and live. Accordingly, Apollo has taken an integrated approach to incorporating relevant environmental, social, and governance considerations into how we invest, how we lend, and how we operate our firm globally.

Our sustainability strategy prioritizes the creation of economic value for our shareholders and serving the needs of our clients and employees in a responsible way. We believe sustainability is more than simply a negative screen, a risk mitigator, or a due diligence lens; rather, we believe it is a potential driver of returns and growth. Accordingly, we view sustainable investment to be the strategy and practice of incorporating environmental, social, and governance factors and sustainability outcomes into investment decisions, practices, and ownership, to the extent they are deemed to be material to financial performance and consistent with fiduciary obligations. Where appropriate, we seek to: engage with portfolio companies and issuers on financially material issues; report on our activities and progress and the activities and progress of portfolio companies of the funds we manage, to fund investors, shareholders, and stakeholders alike; and support the implementation of best practices across the alternative asset management and retirement services industries.

We have a committee of the AGM board of directors, the sustainability and corporate responsibility committee, which is responsible for assisting the board of directors in overseeing corporate responsibility and sustainability matters. In 2023, our chief sustainability officer, in coordination with the sustainability and corporate responsibility committee, reviewed and approved updates to our sustainable investing and environmental, social, and governance policy and our corporate political activities policy. We also adopted several new policies, including an environmental, health and safety policy, a human rights policy, and a supplier code of conduct. In addition, consistent with our strategic approach to climate-related financial transparency, we expanded our voluntary disclosures included in our annual sustainability report, which is available on our website, to include financed emissions data, carbon footprint data, weighted average carbon intensity, and weighted average data quality scores for certain investments held by select Apollo-managed funds.
