Our responsibility towards
the environment and society

One of our core values ​​is to promote sustainability for the environment and society.

Peter Waleczek, Managing Partner

As a responsible organization, it is our goal to create value in a sustainable way. We achieve this goal by taking into account the effects of our behaviour on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.

Our approach: clear ESG guidelines

Our ESG guidelines are integrated into the entire investment process, from due diligence to the investment period and exit. We consider ESG issues at an early stage in our investment process by checking a potential investment against our exclusion list and carrying out an ESG analysis.

During the investment period, we actively support our portfolio companies in ESG management in order to ensure the implementation of our ESG guidelines.

As an organization, we have committed ourselves to regularly reviewing our guidelines for their effectiveness and appropriateness. ESG is an important part of the knowledge exchange between portfolio companies, our team and our network.

Our partners in climate protection

FLEX Capital supports the Leaders for Climate Action Initiative. We are continuously working on reducing our CO2 footprint. In addition, we offset our remaining emissions and are therefore a climate-neutral company.
