Responsible business
Arrow’s approach to ESG and sustainability is aligned to its purpose of Building Better Financial Futures.
At the core of this is our local strategy, whereby each platform has established long-term relationships with regulators, banks and clients in its geography, built upon integrity, responsibility and with shared long-term interests in mind. These long-term interests mean we operate with awareness of our impact on the environment, understand and respond to the needs of our customers, commercial partners and colleagues and give back to the communities in which we operate.
Underpinning our operational approach is a robust governance structure, with key members of the senior leadership attending a quarterly Sustainability & ESG Committee which reports into Group Board.

Investing responsibly
Arrow is an ambitious company with a determination to succeed that is matched by our drive to do things the right way.
Arrow’s local in-country platforms mean we have the expertise to ensure that we guide our investors through a fragmented and complex market, using the diversity of knowledge we possess to drive consistent returns.
“We aim to see the ESG profile of an investment as part of the overall delivery of risk adjusted return for our investors. We have actively opted out of investments where there is potentially high return but where our investment and legal professionals consider that there is a material ESG risk related to an investment. This could include potential sanctions risk or risks relating to the potential counterparty’s approach to compliance practices.”

General Counsel, AGGCM
