Lime Rock New Energy Signs the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)

Lime Rock New Energy, a growth equity investment partner for entrepreneurs building differentiated, innovative, and growing energy transition businesses announces that it has become a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). The PRI is the leading global network of investment managers, asset owners, and service providers committed to investing responsibly by incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into their investment practices and business operations.

“Our focus is on businesses that are delivering products or services that are accelerating the energy transition today,” said Mark McCall, Managing Director of Lime Rock New Energy. “We are proud to further demonstrate our commitment to delivering positive environmental impact as a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment.”

Mark Lewis, Managing Director of Lime Rock New Energy added “the Principles for Responsible Investment are a natural fit with LRNE’s approach of investing in businesses that are driving meaningful – and quantifiable – reductions in carbon emissions through the use of their products or services. Our focus on ESG starts at the earliest stages of the evaluation of a potential investment and carries through the investment, monitoring, and exit.”

David Atkin, CEO at the Principles for Responsible Investment, comments: “We are pleased to welcome Lime Rock New Energy as a signatory to the PRI. Directing capital flows towards the decarbonization of the real economy is a key component of an effective responsible investment strategy and we look forward to working alongside LRNE on this important topic.”

As a signatory, LRNE incorporates the PRI’s six Principles for Responsible Investment into its investment, due diligence, and portfolio management practices to create a more sustainable environment via its investment activities.
