Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

GCM Grosvenor Inc. is an alternative asset management firm that primarily serves institutional investors. The provided articles describe the company's investment strategies, including significant assets under management in essential social services ($6 billion in healthcare, education, affordable housing) and regionally targeted initiatives ($2 billion), as well as its philanthropic activities such as funding financial literacy programs and donating to over 265 organizations.

However, the company does not offer direct lending, deposit, or consumer financial products to individuals. Therefore, the quantitative metrics required by the rubric for KPIs such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives (loan/insurance book share), data accessibility, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion (service points), and product simplicity are not applicable to its core business model or are not provided with the specific data points (e.g., percentage of profit reinvested, reach of literacy programs) needed to assign a score according to the rubric's thresholds.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The provided articles do not contain any specific, concrete data points relevant to GCM Grosvenor Inc.'s performance against the Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing value.

The company is an asset management firm, and the KPIs in this rubric primarily relate to the procurement and supply chain of physical commodities, which is not the core business of GCM Grosvenor Inc. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the available evidence.

Honest & Fair Business

GCM Grosvenor has established procedures for confidential and anonymous submissions of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters.

However, there is no evidence provided regarding independent investigation processes, training, or the effectiveness of this policy. For its 2020 PRI Transparency Report, GCM Grosvenor stated that no third-party assurance was undertaken, indicating a lack of independent verification for a significant ethical claim.

Kind to Animals

GCM Grosvenor Inc. is a global alternative asset management firm.

Its direct operations do not involve manufacturing products, animal testing, animal agriculture, or sourcing animal products. Therefore, KPIs related to these activities are not applicable to the company itself, resulting in a score of 0 where an N/A tier is available in the rubric. While the company invests in portfolio companies that offer plant-based alternatives (The Jackfruit Company) and precision fermentation for egg proteins (The EVERY Company), and others that use bioinsecticides protecting pollinators (Vestaron Crop Protection) or reduce nutrient runoff (Ostara), these are activities of its portfolio companies, not GCM Grosvenor's direct operations. No specific, measurable data points were provided for GCM Grosvenor's direct impact on wildlife conservation, humane certifications for animal operations, or engagement in animal welfare policy.

Planet-Friendly Business

GCM Grosvenor launched a Biodiversity Strategy in May 2022, committing to a 20% biodiversity increase on managed green space and a 100% increase on developments by 2030.

The company uses DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric 3.0 to measure net gain, with specific projects like Grosvenor Square targeting a 15.5% biodiversity net gain and Holbein Gardens achieving a 200% net gain. The Trumpington Meadows site dedicates 80% of its area to a 148-acre nature reserve. The company has a net-zero target year of 2030. TCFD reports are available for 2025 and 2022, indicating full adoption of TCFD. GCM Grosvenor's Infrastructure Advantage Strategy seeks to originate and execute infrastructure projects that leverage the inclusion of union labor, and a renewable energy asset created over 170,000 union work hours.

Safe & Smart Tech

GCM Grosvenor has not experienced material cybersecurity incidents, and its cybersecurity risk management program is based on NIST CSF and CIS Critical Security Controls.

Employees complete social engineering and anti-phishing training semi-annually and participate in monthly testing, with additional risk-based training. The company states compliance with GDPR and CCPA, and its privacy notice indicates data retention is based on business needs and legal requirements. Users can request data updates and deletion. However, GCM Grosvenor uses AI/ML technologies, including Canoe Intelligence and Arria's Natural Language Generation, but no formal AI ethics policy or oversight mechanisms are mentioned. While vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are part of their program, specific details on their effectiveness, frequency, or coverage are not provided.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

The provided articles for GCM Grosvenor Inc. primarily focus on the firm's investment activities, ESG policies, and corporate sustainability commitments, such as achieving carbon neutrality and having LEED-certified buildings.

However, they do not contain specific quantitative data or metrics related to GCM Grosvenor's own operational performance in waste management or zero-waste initiatives. Information regarding waste diversion rates, waste reduction initiatives, hazardous waste management, waste audit frequency, zero-waste certifications, waste disposal violations, waste reduction targets, or supplier waste requirements for GCM Grosvenor's own operations is not available. Furthermore, as an asset management firm, many product-specific KPIs (e.g., product recyclability, packaging sustainability, recycled content, single-use plastic reduction, take-back programs, circular design principles, product durability, repairability score, material efficiency, packaging-to-product ratio, customer waste education) are not directly applicable to its core business operations, and no relevant data is provided even if they were.
