Sustainability is reshaping markets and redefining the future of growth.
Alessandro Benetton, Founding Managing Partner
Our sustainability policy
We engage with portfolio companies to grow and generate profit in a way that is admired by employees, clients, suppliers, shareholders.
To make companies grow in a "good" and sustainable way, we have developed our sustainability policy in the respect of international law on human rights and to the application of environmental, social and governance criteria.
Responsible investment
The key to generating long-term growth.
We consider responsible investment as part of the strategy to consistently create value for our investors.
To comply with the highest responsible investment industry standards, we have been a long‑standing signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI, the world’s leading independent proponent of responsible investment) since 2009. Since the annual reporting was introduced in 2015, 21 invest has consistently received top scores (A or A+) in the "Strategy & Governance" and "Private Equity" modules from the PRI.
Following the change in the scoring methodology with the 2023 reporting cycle, in our latest reporting we received a score of 77 in the "Policy Governance & Strategy" module and of 96 in the "Private Equity" module, both of which were above Median values.
