Sylvan SFDR Statement

: Sustainability at the Core

It is not enough to simply have ESG risk considerations in our investments. To create a lasting and sustainable world, we focus on the investee company’s environmental and social impact potential. This is closely integrated into our investment practices focusing on three themes:
1) Climate and Environmental Action, 2) Inclusive Growth, and
3) Innovation for Sustainable Life.

: ESG and Impact support for our portfolio

Embedding ESG factors into a portfolio company’s business operation is our core mission. We regularly measure and assess ESG and its impact with KPI indexes and support their ESG transformation through ongoing monitoring and consultation.
