OUR PATH TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
We believe real change happens when business leaders take responsibility and face challenges head-on – not when they wait for government regulation. That’s why we lead from the front, making investment decisions and installing ownership practices that reflect our long-term commitment to our workforce, our communities, and the environment.
At MiddleGround, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are backed by action. Our dedicated ESG team ensures that ESG is embedded in every facet of our organization and throughout the deal cycle. We are proud to have been the first industrial-focused signatory with assets under $1 billion to join the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI).

As a UNPRI signatory, we have voluntarily adopted six principles that provide a framework for investing responsibly and integrating ESG practices into both investment and ownership practices. Joining the UNPRI is proof that we welcome transparency and want to be held accountable to the highest standards in the world.
