Our Policy

At First Light Capital, responsible investment is central to our role as fund and asset managers. We view environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors – along with sustainable asset management – as essential to preserving and enhancing long-term value for our investors, partners, and communities. This philosophy informs every stage of our investment lifecycle, from acquisition and due diligence through to active asset management and divestment.

Our sustainability framework focuses on three core priorities:

  • Supporting sustainable economic growth

  • Building resilient, vibrant communities

  • Promoting the health of people and the planet

We are committed to delivering measurable economic and environmental outcomes, aligning with global best practices while maintaining safe, healthy environments for our employees, tenants, and stakeholders.

Our Approach

At First Light Capital, ESG is embedded in our business – driving stronger, more resilient outcomes for all. Our approach is systematic, measurable, and aligned with global sustainability principles. Key pillars of our ESG integration include:

  • Integrating ESG risks and opportunities into all investment and asset management decisions, ensuring long-term resilience and value creation
  • Developing tailored sustainability strategies for each fund to address unique asset profiles and investor objectives
  • Measuring, benchmarking, and transparently reporting ESG performance using robust, data-driven methodologies
  • Leveraging green rating tools and certifications wherever applicable, including NABERSNZ and New Zealand Green Building Council certifications, to verify environmental performance
  • Collaborating with industry bodies and partners to share knowledge, influence policy, and accelerate the adoption of sustainable asset management practices across the property sector
“We’ve been invested with First Light Capital for several years, and their monthly distributions and consistent growth are now supporting our retirement. Their proactive management, clear communication, and high-quality reporting have given us real confidence, especially during periods of rising interest rates. The team’s professionalism and dedication to maximising returns have been exceptional.”
