Labor Impact Investing
The GCM Grosvenor Labor Impact Strategy is founded on the belief that attractive infrastructure investment opportunities are more likely to be unlocked through close partnership among labor, government, and private capital.
Making an Impact
Labor Impact Strategy investments have had a significant effect on local labor forces and economies, which is only expected to increase as the strategy’s portfolio continues to grow1. For more detail, including investment summaries, read the full 2021 Labor and Economic Impact Report.

On March 30, 2022, one of the Labor Impact Strategy’s marquee investments conducted a successful demonstration using hydrogen-blended fuel to generate electricity.

Dedicated Team
We have assembled a dedicated Labor Impact Team that integrates investment, labor, and government expertise to source and execute infrastructure investments that align with our investors’ priorities. We believe the relationships, knowledge, and understanding of these key stakeholder constituencies are differentiated factors that enable us to execute on the strategy.
Responsible Contracting
The Labor Impact Strategy has adopted a world-class Responsible Contactor Policy, developed in collaboration with North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) and other labor organizations. It promotes fair benefits, wages, working conditions, and training opportunities for workers on projects for the Labor Impact Strategy.
✓ Competitive bidding process
✓ Construction and operations
✓ Contractors with a responsible track record
✓ Project Labor Agreements
✓ Worker protections
✓ Advance notice to signatory contractors
✓ Enforcement mechanisms
In 2020, NABTU evaluated real estate and infrastructure asset managers on the content and commitment demonstrated in their responsible contractor practices and policies. We received the second-highest grade among responding managers, and a perfect score in 8 out of the 10 categories assessed.
It is rare to find a firm such as GCM Grosvenor that brings the sophistication of a global investment platform and embraces the values of the labor movement."
