As portfolio manager (AIFM) and investment adviser (together an asset manager) and in accordance with the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) we consider environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) that may have a substantial actual or potential negative effects on the value of an investment (“sustainability risks”) in our investment decisions.

We are convinced that this not only helps us to fulfil our role in society, but also improves our risk management and increases potential for value appreciation.

We have laid out our commitment to responsible investing in our custom, group-wide set of guidelines.

We have been signatories to the United Nations’ principles for responsible investment (UN PRI) since 2013. This guides us in considering sustainability risks in our decisions and processes.

In the latest UN PRI Assessment Report 2023, Golding received the highest rating of 5 stars in each of the asset classes Private Equity, Private Credit (Fixed Income) and Infrastructure.

The UN PRI-"Public Full Transparency Report", which you can access here, details the indicators that form the basis for PRI's assessment of Golding.

We understand that the integration and management of sustainability risks in our work require continuous improvement. We regularly assess and optimise our ESG activities.
