Our team is a critical factor in our success, and attracting and retaining the best people and strongest investors are an important competitive advantage.
Also crucial to our long-term success is the alignment of interests between the Onex management team, shareholders and clients. Members of our management team have a significant long-term ownership in Onex shares and invest meaningfully in our funds.

Onex recognizes that a diverse team and inclusive environment are vital in contributing to our continued success as an investor and asset manager. We believe that diverse perspectives create better outcomes for us and our stakeholders, including the companies we invest in, our shareholders, investors and clients, as well as the communities we serve.
Onex’ commitment to diversity and inclusion includes increasing our focus on attracting and retaining employees from diverse backgrounds, creating additional awareness of diversity issues and benefits, fostering and inspiring a more supportive environment where inclusivity is expected and prioritized, and embedding accountability for diversity throughout the firm.

Responsible governance throughout Onex and across our platforms is fundamental to the success of our organization. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of good governance, which builds trust and confidence in our stewardship of capital.
Consistent with our long-held belief that responsible investing is both the right approach to investing, as well as a driver of meaningful stakeholder value, we continue to make enhancements to our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) program.

To remain aligned with emerging best practices, we participate in several industry initiatives, including the ESG Data Convergence Initiative, Initiative Climat International (“iCI”), the Principles for Responsible Investment (“PRI”), the IFRS Sustainability Alliance and FCLT Global, among others. We expect our program to continue to expand in line with this rapidly evolving area, while remaining rooted in our founding principle of responsible investing.
