Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

Sustainability is an integral part of our investment philosophy. We are convinced that companies that pursue a sustainable business model and make a positive contribution to society, create greater value in the long run.

As investors, we are also in the position to make a positive contribution. We are committed to complying with certain principles in the areas of environment, social and governance (ESG).
On the one hand, these principles are taken into account in our investment decisions. On the other hand, they form the basis for the partnership with our portfolio companies and their management teams.
