Key successes
- Actual status with regard to sustainability identified in all portfolio companies
- Established a foundation for setting goals and defining actions, thereby enhancing corporate performance in the medium term and mitigating future economic risks
Background
The importance of sustainable corporate management is derived from various internal and external factors for us. Additionally, one of our core values as a company is to have a positive impact.
Hence, we have consciously chosen to incorporate ESG factors (Environmental, Social, Governance) into our business actions at FLEX Capital and within our portfolio:
As a private equity fund under Article 8, we have committed with our second fund to consider ecological and social aspects when selecting our investments. In this context, we have identified 70 ESG KPIs that are particularly important to us, which we collect annually in our portfolio companies with the aim of improving these aspects.
In addition, we have committed to identifying the PAIs (Principal Adverse Impact Indicators) in accordance with the European SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) and to transparently publish the status and improvement of 18 of these KPIs on our website.
FLEX support
In consultative collaboration with FLEX, our portfolio companies have implemented the following measures.
- Compilation of the data foundation for capturing 70 ESG criteria
- Definition of ESG goals
- Derivation of specific action measures
- Creation of an ESG reporting
