The Company is aware of the importance of the ESG Criteria for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals «SDGs» (2015-2030).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the time being, the Company has decided not to integrate the ESG Criteria in the investment decision-making processes, as it does not yet have a sufficient level of development and detail to assess the impact of such criteria. Furthermore, based on its current positioning, the Company acknowledges that it does not take into account the adverse impact of investment decisions on the ESG Criteria.
3.2 Company’s Commitment to the ESG Criteria
The Company is working on the conceptualization of a general framework related to the ESG Criteria, which applies to issues such as:
- investment and divestment decisions;non-financial reporting to be implemented in current and future portfolio companies;
- non-financial reporting to be provided to investors in the vehicles managed by the Company;
- andthe day-to-day running of the Company.
During 2021, the Company will evaluate various external ESG providers with a view to ultimately selecting one of them to lead and assist in the implementation of an all-encompassing ESG policy and practices. In addition, the Company is already considering a collaboration with a company invested by vehicles managed by the Company. Such company has developed a specific software for the management, monitoring and reporting of all ESG activity, which will allow the Company to better implement and monitor the integration of ESG Criteria in all its activities. The Company expressly states that, beyond the legal obligations imposed, it is fully committed to the adoption of ESG practices.
4. Remuneration Policy and Policies for the Integration of Sustainability Risks
The Company’s remuneration policy is not affected by not considering the ESG Criteria when making investment decisions.
