DALLAS, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tailwater Capital LLC ("Tailwater"), an energy and infrastructure private equity firm, today released its annual Responsible Investment report, titled Building Value Responsibly to reflect the Firm's alignment between responsibility and long-term value. Now in its fifth year of publication, the report highlights Tailwater's intentional development of its Responsible Investment Program, supporting continued opportunities for portfolio resilience, operational value and strong investment outcomes.

"At Tailwater, responsible investment is not a parallel workstream, it's embedded in how we create and protect value," said Jason Downie and Edward Herring, Co-Founders and Managing Partners of Tailwater. "This year's report reflects the maturation of our approach and the progress we have made embedding sustainable responsibility practices and themes into our investment and portfolio management processes. We are proud of the commitment our team and portfolio companies have brought to this effort."

The report demonstrates how Tailwater engages with its portfolio on material areas of responsible investment, supported by a governance structure designed to ensure accountability, continuous improvement, and long-term resilience. With a focus on key business considerations, including cybersecurity, efficiency / utilization, safety, employee engagement, and energy and emissions profiles, the Firm has a fully integrated approach positioning companies for greater asset quality, commercial readiness, and transition to new ownership.

"Responsible investment continues to serve as a practical framework for strengthening operations and supporting accountability across our portfolio," said Roger Fox, Head of Responsible Investment at Tailwater. "As the program has evolved, we have remained focused on the areas most critical to our investments, shaping it's development around portfolio needs, investor expectations, and the operational realities of the energy value chain."

Key milestones from the report include:

• Achieving strong 2025 PRI Assessment results, with 4- and 5-star ratings, year-over-year improvement across categories, and scores above cross-industry medians.
