ZAIS is a signatory to the United Nations-Supported Principles for Responsible Investment ("UN PRI") and supports the companion Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is important to us. We believe we can strive for ESG informed, values-based performance: Internally in the resources we use, externally in how we help our communities, and strategically in how we deliver long-term returns for those of our investors who elect that strategy.
At ZAIS, we care about the future of our environment and the survival of our natural world with its interconnected waters. With this in mind, ZAIS is delighted to announce that, through the purchase of carbon credits, we have become 100% carbon neutral. This is one step forward, as we begin to develop our ESG goals, including to create a cleaner, greener environment for future generations.
ZAIS worked with an ESG sustainability reporting consultancy firm, which assessed our carbon footprint, generated our carbon neutrality report and guided us to offset these carbon emissions. The carbon credits were registered and retired through Carbonfund.org Foundation, a carbon offset organization.
Though ZAIS doesn’t manufacture a physical product, our operations will contribute to mitigating global climate change by purchasing enough carbon offsets to reach net-zero emission.
ZAIS employees selected three certified projects:
We will continue to focus on an ESG sustainability purpose and will keep you updated.

This information has been prepared solely for informational purposes and is not an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any security or instrument or to participate in any trading strategy which may or may not be made available. Any such offer of securities would, if made, be made pursuant to definitive final private offering documents, which would contain material information not contained herein (including certain risks) or material that differs from the information contained herein and to which current and prospective investors are referred. Any decision to invest should be made solely in reliance upon such private offering documents. In the event of any such offering, this information shall be deemed superseded, amended and supplemented in its entirety by such private offering documents. Information contained herein does not purport to be complete and is subject to the same qualifications and assumptions, and should be considered by investors only in the light of the same warnings, lack of assurances and representations and other precautionary matters, as disclosed in an applicable private offering memorandum and subscription agreement. No representation or warranty can be given with respect to the terms of any offer of securities conforming to the terms hereof.

Statements made herein that are not attributed to a third party source reflect the views and opinions of ZAIS.
There can be no guarantee that impact investing products or strategies will produce returns similar to or better than other strategies we manage. An environmental, social and governance ("ESG") strategy restricts the types and number of available investments and prioritizes the ESG criteria over other investment criteria. Consequently, an ESG portfolio may perform differently from other strategies that do not screen for ESG factors. Responsible investing is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there can be no guarantee that the criteria we use, or decisions we make, will reflect any particular investor’s beliefs or values. We source some of the information we use in identifying responsible investments from voluntary or third party reporting, which may not be accurate or complete. Responsible investing standards may vary by region. There can be no assurance that the responsible investing strategy and techniques we employ will be successful. Investors should be prepared to risk the loss of some or all of the capital invested in the strategy.
