Focus Areas from the Sustainability Report 2022
Creating awareness about net zero targets

Improving disclosure and transparency efforts
Building on previous efforts, we are improving our disclosure and transparency activities, focusing especially on the intensive collection of Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) data from our investee companies. Given many borrowers are in early sustainability reporting stages, Capital Four actively engages with them to discuss materiality and promote transparency. Read more on page 14.
Engagement processes
We are continuing to improve our tracking and recording of engagement activities and combine them with the ESG data that Capital Four has diligently worked to improve.
Responsibility is in our DNA and has been at the heart of Capital Four since day one.
A sustainable and responsible mindset are embedded in the way we operate throughout our business. It ensures our positive impact as an organization. We are committed to consistent ESG integration in our investment process, which enables us to identify the associated risks and uncover opportunities.
We support the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative and The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption and we are a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
Passion and persistence are traits we share as individuals at Capital Four. Together, we form a powerful team - an alliance - dedicated to making plentiful results.
