Building Sustainable Businesses
Our mission at Quadrangle is to fulfill our fiduciary duty by creating long-term value for our investors. We aim to do this by strengthening the more than 250 companies, 12,500+ real estate assets and other investments in our portfolio, equipping them to thrive amidst a changing global economy.
OUR APPROACH
As the world’s largest alternative asset manager, we partner with targeted portfolio companies on programs that drive value. Our strategy prioritizes:
Reinforcing strong governance, a foundation of resilient companies
Investing in the energy transition and driving value-accretive emissions reduction across our portfolio
Building stronger workplaces by expanding talent pools
CORPORATE APPROACH
Within Quadrangle, we support our operations and business activities with value-enhancing governance policies, programs and systems.
GOVERNANCE
Practicing Good Governance
Our integrated Sustainability team operates through a hub and spoke model that incorporates dedicated coverage at the firm level, within our corporate groups and at individual business units. Quadrangle is a signatory to PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment) as of July 2021 and is a supporter of TCFD (Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) as of October 2021.
BUILDING STRONGER WORKPLACES
Developing and Advancing Talent
We believe that by focusing on recruiting, talent development, community and inclusion and accountability, we will create an environment that drives retention and advancement opportunities for our employees. We are focused on building a broad pipeline of talent for the next generation of leaders at Quadrangle and throughout the financial services industry. We’re committed to the engagement, development and retention of our workforce through tailored skill development opportunities.
QUADRANGLE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Closing the Opportunity Gap
Quadrangle LaunchPad, the signature program of the Quadrangle Charitable Foundation, seeks to close the opportunity gap by equipping college and university students with the entrepreneurial skills they need to build lasting careers. Quadrangle employees are highly engaged in giving back, with nearly 90% of employees participating in annual firm-sponsored charitable activities in 2023.
“We provide capital to help our portfolio companies grow and improve performance. In doing so, we seek to generate lasting value for our investors.”

While Quadrangle believes sustainability factors can enhance long-term value, Quadrangle does not pursue a sustainability-based investment strategy or limit its investments to those that meet specific sustainability criteria or standards (except with respect to products or strategies that are explicitly designated as doing so in their offering documents or other applicable governing documents). Any such considerations do not qualify Quadrangle’s objectives to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
Pursuant to Section 44475.2 of Division 26 of the California Health and Safety Code (AB 1305), please see our most recent Climate-related Financial Disclosures report aligned with TCFD recommendations for more details on our emissions reduction program and related initiatives.
