Promotion of social sustainability factors

The Manager promotes social characteristics and considers itself as a Light Green Fund under art. 8 of the SFDR regulation.

The Manager confirms to integrate social & governance sustainability factors into its investment decision procedure. Every new investment opportunity is screened on its gender balance. Due diligence on an investment will only start if there is either a female CEO or if the company has a gender balance of at least 50% female employees.

On a governance level, the Manager will make sure, there is always female representation on the board of the investee companies.

The Manager will make sure the investee companies respect human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters.

The Manager does however not integrate environmental sustainability risks into its investment decision procedure, as referred to in article 3 SFDR. These risks and the likely impacts of them on the returns of the fund managed by the Manager are not formally assessed.

The Manager acknowledges that environmental related events or conditions could potentially have an impact on the value of the investments made on behalf of fund managed by the Manager.

Hence, the investments underlying this financial product do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

No consideration of adverse sustainability impacts of investment decisions

The Manager does not consider adverse sustainability impacts of its investment decisions, as referred to in article 4, §1, (b) SFDR. This means that adverse impacts on climate and other environment-related indicators (including, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, water and waste) are not taken into account. However, indicators for social and employee, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters are taken into consideration in the Manager’s investment decisions.

Integration of sustainability risks into remuneration policies

As a sub-threshold manager of alternative investment funds, the Manager does not have an obligation to have a formal remuneration policy in accordance with article 40 and following of the Belgian law of 19 April 2014 on alternative entities for collective investments and their managers. Consequently, sustainability risks are not integrated in the Manager’s remuneration policy.
