Torbjorn Caesar, Chairman and CEO at Actis, commented:
“Every market we invest in competes for capital on a global basis. We’re builders and operators by nature, whether it’s a data centre, a renewable power plant, or a cooling network, it has to make sense worldwide, not just locally.
“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. It’s about future-proofing our investments so that when we sell, the next owner should be well placed run them successfully for the long term. Sustainability isn’t just the right thing to do; we think it actually enhances value as when you build sustainable assets, you create more demand and achieve higher valuations upon exit.
“The amount of capital flowing into the region today is far greater than what we saw a decade ago, and we’re just getting started.”
