Our Approach to ESG
We believe ESG may have meaningful impacts to value protection and value creation for all businesses.
Veritas is committed to incorporating ESG considerations both within our own firm-wide operations and in our investing practices. We aim to invest in accordance with responsible investing practices and recognize that effective management of ESG issues can create better risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
Industry Engagements and Frameworks
We engage with several organizations and reporting frameworks that help inform our ESG approach.
Responsible Investment Practices

Key ESG considerations include:
Corporate Governance
Human Rights & Business Ethics
Data Privacy and Security
Climate
Change
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Worker Health and Safety
Employee Engagement
Diversity and Inclusion
As a minority-owned firm, Veritas understands the importance of diversity and inclusion within our organization. Our team is comprised of individuals with diverse perspectives, experiences, interests, and cultural identities, all of which we consider fundamental to maintaining our competitive edge.
Championing Diversity and Empowerment in Private Equity
We proudly support ILPA’s Diversity in Action Initiative, an initiative that brings together private equity limited partners who share a commitment to advancing DEI in the private equity industry.
As a Gold Sponsor of the Synergist Network, a national organization dedicated to empowering women in finance, Veritas supports mentorship programs that provide resources we consider essential to the longer-term success of young women just beginning their careers in private equity.
Annually, we host interns from Opportunity Network and Cristo Rey, with the goal of providing young people with experience, comprehensive training, and strong mentorship to inspire them to pursue a career in finance.
