Our approach to sustainability

Through our investment strategy, the capabilities of our team, and the capital entrusted to our management by clients, we directly contribute to the transition to clean energy.

We strive to deliver long-term, sustainable value and believe that incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into our investment process is critical to accomplishing this goal. In our experience, ESG analysis is an important element of risk management and realising the potential for value creation.

We consider ESG factors not only in the selection of investments, but also at every stage of the investment process, from the beginning of origination through due diligence and acquisition, and into the post-acquisition phase with ongoing monitoring, management, and stakeholder engagement. ESG considerations are embedded in our remuneration framework.

EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)


The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (Regulation 2019/2088) ("SFDR") went into effect on March 10, 2021.

The main goal of SFDR is to increase transparency about sustainability and make it easier for investors to understand, compare, and evaluate the sustainability-related features and claims of different investment strategies.

No consideration of adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors

Sosteneo does not consider the adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors in accordance with Art. 4 (1) (b) SFDR. While Sosteneo considers relevant negative impacts of its investment decisions (such as greenhouse gas emissions), it is of the opinion that collecting and disclosing aggregated data on adverse impact at company level using the pre-defined set of indicators to measure principal adverse impacts (PAI) set out in SFDR RTS (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1288) has limited value for investors and other stakeholders. Nevertheless, as part of its role as delegated portfolio manager Sosteneo contributes to the collection, monitoring and disclosure of data on the PAI indicators for the investments it manages. Sosteneo will continue monitoring market developments and analyse the PAI data it already collects at investment level. Based on this continuous monitoring, Sosteneo will, on a regular basis, revisit its decision not to consider adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors in accordance with Art. 4 (1) (b) SFDR.
