ESG Data Convergence Initiative

GREENPEAK Partners Demonstrates High ESG Commitment with Third Consecutive Participation in the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI) and Publishes 2024 Principal Adverse Impact Statement (PAI Statement) Linked to Article 8 SFDR Classification of All Funds

GREENPEAK Partners, a leading private equity firm committed to sustainable investment, is proud to announce its participation in the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI) for the third consecutive year, having been involved since the initiative’s inception. This continuous participation underscores the firm’s commitment to standardizing ESG data and driving sustainability in private markets.

The ESG Data Convergence Initiative, a global collaboration designed to harmonize ESG reporting across private equity, has become a crucial platform for improving transparency and comparability of ESG metrics. As an earlier contributor of the initiative, GREENPEAK Partners continues to play a key role in shaping how ESG data is used to promote responsible investment practices.

“Our continued participation in the ESG Data Convergence Initiative reflects our commitment to integrating sustainability into the core of our investment strategy,” said Daniel Beringer, Managing Partner of GREENPEAK Partners. “By standardising ESG data, we can ensure that investors have clearer insights into the real-world impact of their investments, thereby driving long-term value creation.”

In addition, GREENPEAK Partners has also published the Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) statement relating to the year 2023. This statement is directly linked to the firm’s compliance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which classifies all of GREENPEAK Partners’ funds as promoting environmental and/or social characteristics. The PAI Statement, which is available on the the firm’s website, outlines how GREENPEAK assesses and mitigates the principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors.

“The release of the Principal Adverse Impact Statement is a key milestone in our ESG journey,” said Valentina Stadler, Chief ESG Officer of GREENPEAK Partners. “The PAI Statement, aligned with Article 8 of the SFDR, demonstrates how we prioritize both transparency and accountability in managing the sustainability impacts of our investments. It further reinforces our commitment to promoting environmental and social characteristics across all of our funds.”

GREENPEAK’s Article 8 SFDR classification means that all its funds integrate ESG factors in their investment strategies, actively promoting positive environmental and social outcomes while adhering to the highest standards of responsible investment. The publication of the PAI Statement is a significant step in enhancing transparency and further advancing the firm’s ESG leadership.
