ESG integration in the investment process

During the analysis of each investment opportunity, our team checks that the company is compatible with the exclusion policy, analyzes the contribution to SDGs and carries out a sustainability risk analysis with a methodology based on the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) framework (https://www.sasb.org/standards/materiality-map/). The results of the ESG due diligence is included in the presentation to the investment committee for each new investment. Lastly, an ESG clause is systematically included in the shareholder agreement.
