The Apollo Sustainability Ecosystem
At Apollo, we work every day to lead responsibly and leverage our full platform to create positive impact. Since formalizing our ESG engagement and reporting program in 2009 we have engaged with hundreds of portfolio companies through reporting, site visits, and conferences to help drive sustainability, climate action, employee engagement, and responsible citizenship across these organizations.
Today, our commitment to sustainability remains a defining attribute of our firm and is embedded in our culture. We strive to be an industry leader in ESG data collection, transparency and engagement with portfolio companies, borrowers, counterparties and fellow industry participants.
Our Approach to Sustainability
Apollo has developed a strong bench of Sustainability talent, including our Chief Sustainability Officer, Dave Stangis, as well as dedicated heads of ESG for our private equity and credit businesses. The depth of talent and leadership reinforces Apollo’s commitment to sustainability as we look to drive operational rigor and positive impact around the globe.
That is why we are elevating our approach to sustainability further, leveraging it as a growth strategy for Apollo and our clients. By using sustainability as a driver of opportunity, we believe it can help the businesses in which Apollo-managed funds invest become better companies through engagement initiatives and empowering every employee to make a difference.

Apollo Impact Mission
The Apollo Impact Mission strategy pursues private equity opportunities that seek to generate positive, measurable social and/or environmental impact at scale while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns. We adhere to a rigorous impact investment strategy that targets investments centered around two critical objectives – helping people and healing the planet.
Apollo is driving an evolution in the impact investing landscape by applying the strategy to the mid-market, investing in later-stage, mature companies. We employ the “classic Apollo” value-oriented lens and harness the full power of the firm as we seek to drive both financial success and impact at AIM portfolio companies.
APOLLO IMPACT OBJECTIVES
Driving Sustainability Across Our Ecosystems
We are committed to responsible leadership and believe that driving sustainability best practices across our investment ecosystems helps to yield better business outcomes for all our stakeholders.
