ESG Disclosure – Blue Owl’s objective when considering Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) factors is to seek to maximize risk-adjusted returns consistent with the investment objective of the relevant fund as set forth in the partnership agreement and memorandum for such fund. ESG initiatives or practices related to underlying investments do not apply in every instance.

This website should not be viewed in isolation; Blue Owl’s ESG Policy further describes important details and considerations regarding Blue Owl’s ESG investing approach.

Transparency of Sustainability Risk Policy

Blue Owl Capital Inc. (together with its affiliates “Blue Owl”) integrates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into its investment process. When evaluating investment opportunities, Blue Owl considers ESG risks associated with such opportunities as well as whether there are serious ESG or reputational concerns with regard to prospective portfolio companies or other assets. In particular, Blue Owl evaluates material ESG risks, mitigating factors and opportunities applicable for the asset type (and the industry as a whole).

Based on each fund’s investment objective and investment strategy, Blue Owl considers ESG risks to present a limited near-term impact on the returns of the funds that it manages, with greater impacts likely to be experienced over time.  Blue Owl expects to implement mechanisms to identify material ESG issues in making investments in portfolio companies and to periodically evaluate whether such issues are likely to impact the returns of an investment and, consequently, the returns of the relevant fund. Please see our ESG Policy for more information.

No consideration of principal adverse sustainability impacts

Blue Owl has considered, and continues to consider, ESG factors in its investment process, but it does not consider adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors as specifically set out in Regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector dated 27 November 2019 (“SFDR”). Blue Owl has chosen not to do so for the present time as it considers that its existing ESG policies and procedures are appropriate, proportional and tailored to the investment strategies of the funds that it manages. Blue Owl continues to closely monitor regulatory developments with respect to the SFDR and other applicable ESG-focused laws and regulations, including the implementation of related and secondary legislation and regulatory guidance, and will, where required or otherwise appropriate, make changes to its existing policies and procedures.
