A multiplier effect
on our communities
At BPEA Credit we not only see corporate responsibility as an important part of our business success, but as an opportunity to make an outsized positive impact on society.
The businesses we help grow create a multiplier effect on the communities by bringing organized sector employment and benefits thereof, such as healthcare, insurance, training, and career development, to larger sections of society. The activity of mid- and large-sized businesses in a region also boosts opportunities for private local enterprises to serve their growing communities.
We have adopted proactive policies on ESG, diversity and inclusion, talent development, and philanthropy across our business to foster this positive multiplier effect.
ESG
We are proud to share that BPEA Credit has officially become a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
We are committed to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our investment process and to adopt sustainable investing frameworks.
Our ESG Policy guides our funds and their investments to achieve sound ESG performance, including compliance with national laws, the Exclusion List and IFC Performance Standards.
Through a systematic ESG due dilligence process we identify and categorise ESG risks and impacts of our investments, develop action plans to mitigate them, and closely track and monitor compliance of each investee company.

Diversity
We believe that diversity is critical to our success and encompasses a range of dimensions, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, and cultural background. We are committed to creating a culture of inclusion where all employees feel valued and respected, and where diverse perspectives and experiences are celebrated and leveraged to drive innovation and excellence.
We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our business, from hiring and talent development to investment decision-making and engagement with portfolio companies. We seek to partner with portfolio companies that share our commitment to diversity and inclusion and that demonstrate a strong track record of promoting these values.
Talent development
We believe in creating a culture of continuous learning and growth, where our employees feel supported and empowered to reach their full potential.
BPEA Credit runs internship programs in partnership with leading educational institutions in India and Singapore and is committed to development of talent pools for the growth of the industry.
All our new recruits have an opportunity to be on the front line, working directly on investments and participating in wider strategic deliberations. Our young talent works closely with experienced professionals and group heads, providing them with a tremendous opportunity to learn from the best in the field. We encourage open discussions and participation from all in our team discussions.
Philanthropy
We believe in the importance of giving back to the communities where we live and work, and are committed to making a positive impact through philanthropy and community engagement.
Our off-sites often include a day well spent with the community bringing together resources and our time to a range of charitable organisations. In our view, while we contribute through our efforts and resources to provide a part of the need list, we are richer for the interaction and hugely grateful for it.
