Our Impact & Responsibility
Net Zero Commitment
We are committed to reducing negative impacts on the environment and society in the assets we manage and aim to become net-zero and taxonomy aligned during the investment lifetime. We are determined to engage within our decision-making processes, whenever appropriate, to support no/low-carbon investments and climate change mitigation and adaptation opportunities, as well as identify opportunities to avoid, minimise or reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our investments.
Integrating ESG Principles
We are committed to conducting our business in a sustainable, responsible and transparent manner by setting ambitious objectives for a positive impact on the environment and society and henceforth, supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy and Paris agreement goals. We are keen to integrate ESG-related measures and consider emerging risks while adapting our strategy, risk management framework, investment decision making and deal structuring, and other activities.
Regional Energy Security
The new European Commission energy security proposal emerged as the need for secure and sustainable energy supply surged. The proposal intends to repower the European Union and accelerate the European Green Deal. Repowering entails a significant increase in investment in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen. With the support of the European Commission, we are dedicated to aligning our business decisions with those that will expedite the sustainable transition and repower the European Union.
