Starquest Capital attaches great importance to green investment and sustainable development. We are the first CNY private equity (PE) institutional investor in China to have joined the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and the first PE institutional investor to have adopted the China Green Finance Committee (GFC)’s Green Investment Principles (GIP) for the Belt and Road Initiative.

At Starquest Capital, we thoroughly consider the impact of ESG and sustainable development factors in our investment process and decision-making for both direct and fund of funds (FOF) investments. We have also embedded ESG and sustainable development principles into our company culture and values ​​to drive science-based market innovation and create sustainable returns on investment.

ESG PRACTICES

Since its inception, Starquest Capital has fully incorporated ESG matters into its organizational framework and team culture development efforts, and it has set up an independent ESG Committee. At the same time, the Company closely integrates ESG principles with the investment process and enables ESG investment practices through digital tools.

  • In 2022, Starquest Capital released 2021: The Time for ESG Investment. The book examined the current market landscape for ESG investing in China and around the globe, along with the interactions between pension schemes and ESG investment rationale from the perspective of private equity investors. Starquest Capital invited more than ten institutional investors and enterprises to share their unique perspectives and remarkable ESG investment case studies, presenting insights informed by their own business activities and practices.

  • In 2021, Frankie Fang, founding managing partner of Starquest Capital, edited and published the book Responsibility: New Trends in Private Equity ESG Investment, which aimed to explain the historical context, current development status, and practices of responsible and ESG investing in the Chinese private equity space. The book also comprehensively examined the latest progress in the industry on responsible and ESG investment from the standpoints of LPs, GPs, portfolio companies, and service providers, among other players.

  • In 2020, Starquest Capital released the industry's first ESG Investment Yearbook 2020: Deploying Capital Responsibly, which comprehensively identified and analyzed the current market landscape and trends of responsible investing in China and around the globe from the perspective of private equity investors. The yearbook also contained discussions about the evaluation framework and practical case studies.
