Values
We live and breathe our values. We deliver on them uncompromisingly and expect them unswervingly from the companies we invest in and partner with.
Sustainable finance
In order to deliver sustainable impact, we need to ensure financial viability and capacity to generate excess economic returns by being capital-efficient and cash-generative.
Sustainable growth
The transformative trends of a global economy transitioning towards a more sustainable model present growth opportunities – business models should be evaluated in this context as to their long-term endurance.
Sustainable culture
In our view, business practices drive financial performance the same way that costs would. We integrate thorough ESG metrics into our assessment of the entire ecosystem of stakeholders.
Sustainable impact
We embrace bold trailblazing visionaries who are on a journey to build the industries of the sustainability era and we seek a balanced mix of vision and impeccable execution as an indication of long-term impact.
