Enhanced Healthcare Partners was founded on a mission of investing in growth oriented businesses that drive positive change within our U.S. healthcare system. We believe this mission is supported by effective ESG standards that are addressed within our firm and across our portfolio of investments. Our focus on the Enhance Health Code and ESG considerations and are the key components of EHP’s Responsible Investment Policy.
Enhance Health Code
As a healthcare-focused private equity firm, EHP is particularly cognizant of its impact on the healthcare ecosystem in the United States. EHP seeks to invest in companies that it believes have the potential to be true agents of positive change in the U.S. healthcare system. The Enhance Health Code identifies five drivers of positive change (“drivers”):
Lowering Cost of Care
Promoting Access to Care
Focusing on Vulnerable Populations
Improving Patient Outcomes
Creating Efficiency in the System.
This list, including the number of drivers, is subject to amendment as EHP evaluates the program and identifies new opportunities to promote positive change.
To deliver on these prioritized ESG activities, we have formed an ESG Committee composed of our General Partners and other key members of the EHP team. The ESG Committee is responsible for the overall management of the firm’s Enhance Health Code and internal ESG initiatives and has partnered with subject matter experts to stay abreast of best practices and regulatory requirements. Industry standards and perceptions of the materiality of ESG topics are frequently changing, as are the federal securities laws that govern ESG investing. As such, the ESG Committee reviews its ESG and related policies on at least an annual basis, making updates when necessary.
