For more than 15 years, Apollo has taken an integrated approach to sustainability and used it to mitigate risk and drive growth where applicable and appropriate. Our sustainability strategy is embedded across our operations, including in Apollo-managed funds’ portfolio companies. This approach prioritizes stakeholder value while serving clients, employees and the communities in which we work and live.
Our core values of leading responsibly and championing opportunity not only shape Apollo’s positive impact on society, they also play a critical role in our continued growth and success. Our stakeholders increasingly rely on us to leverage our scale, global network and deep expertise to deliver positive societal returns in addition to strong financial performance.
Apollo works every day to lead responsibly and leverage our full platform to create positive impact. Our sustainability strategy prioritizes creating economic value for our shareholders and serving the needs of our clients and employees in a responsible way that can lead to long-term positive contributions to the communities in which we operate.
Sustainability at Apollo is more than a negative screen, risk mitigator, or due diligence tool — it’s a potential driver of opportunity and growth. Our integrated sustainability approach seeks to mitigate risk and unearth new opportunities to create value. We continue to prioritize sustainability efforts in our management and operations to create demonstrated value to the business. Today, this commitment continues as we look for new ways to integrate sustainability.

1. Apollo's 2024 Scope 3 reporting includes emissions from Fuel and Energy-Related Activities (Category 3), Waste Generated in Operations (Category 5) and expanded emissions from Purchased Goods and Services (Category 1).
2. As of December 16, 2024. Firmwide targets (the “Targets”) to deploy, commit, or arrange capital commensurate with Apollo’s proprietary Transition Investment Framework (the "TIF") are: (1) $50 billion by 2027, and (2) more than $100 billion by 2030.

The methodologies reflect for: (a) majority equity investments, (i) total enterprise value as of the date of the closing of the transactions and (ii) follow-on funding if it relates to an add-on acquisition, capital requirements to grow the company, and/or would imply an increase in the company’s total enterprise value; (b) minority equity or preferred equity investments, (i) the amount of the contractual commitment at the time of signing, if contractually binding or deemed likely to be fully deployed by the investment team or (ii) the funded amounts as of their respective funding dates, if not subject to a binding commitment or subject to discretion with respect to the funding of such commitments; (c) debt origination platforms, the purchase price paid to acquire such origination platform; (d) secondaries transactions, (i) the total capital commitment at the time of the initial commitment in the case of GP-led/continuation vehicle transactions or (ii) the capital called as of the date of each capital call in the case of additional capital commitment obligations; (e) directly originated debt, the total capital organized and/or arranged; (f) short-term secondary debt instruments, the increase in maximum exposure, or any positive net change in exposure, on a quarterly basis; (g) other secondary debt instruments, the purchase price of acquiring the debt instruments at the time of the initial investment, and at the time of any additional follow-on investments; (h) origination or participation in warehouse facilities, the total facility size; and (i) acquisitions of existing real estate assets, the relevant equity and/or debt methodologies.
