At Ares, we believe that integrating environmental, social and corporate governance factors in our investment and portfolio management processes leads to better investment outcomes. Whether it’s creating long-term value for our shareholders or aligning our interests with business partners, we are committed to supporting sustainable practices that generate positive environmental and social impact – not just now, but for years to come.
Since we are externally managed by a subsidiary of Ares Management, we believe Ares Management’s vision of having ESG become a living, breathing part of how we do business is relevant to Ares Capital Corporation. In the below documents, we hope to provide insights about our sustainability journey and goals, as well as specific disclosures that we believe are important to assessing Ares Capital Corporation’s progress with respect to ESG.
