Intern-al culture

Embedding ESG into the culture of a GP firm is easier said than done, as senior leadership must unpick the meaning of ‘culture’ as well as ensuring company values are fed through the entire organisational hierarchy.

One of the ways in which Coller Capital aims to instil ESG from top to bottom is through its ESG intern programme, in which internships within the ESG function, which sits within the investment team, are offered to undergraduates to help drive growth from a fresh perspective.

The internship has been running for several years, but over time a specific interest has arisen in recruiting undergraduates with an ESG focus.
