Sustainability & Impact
ESG Approach
As an impact investor, we focus on supporting and accelerating our companies’ sustainable transformations, alongside ours. We select mission-driven companies and engage with them to uphold the highest ethical, environmental, social and governance standards. This ensures our companies contribute to achieving SDGs. Furthermore, we provide advice on the definition of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies, with clear objectives and assigned responsibilities defined within tailored Sustainability Roadmaps.
ENVIRONMENT
As a healthcare investor, we are committed to adopting sustainable practices that contribute to minimizing carbon emissions, waste production and the overall impact on the environment. Our commitment spans across the investment cycle, from initial screening through to exit. We conduct materiality assessments in line with evolving standards and regulations.
“Our commitment to pioneering products and services drives continuous process improvement. We introduced a new synthesis process that reduced water usage by over 75% annually, significantly boosting efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.”
