Sustainability & impact
Sustainability, evidenced — not asserted.
Our approach is aligned with the ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2 standards, GRI reporting norms and the UN Global Compact. Every impact claim is tied to a measurable indicator and an independent data line — across our own operations and every mandate we manage.
SDG alignment
The goals our mandates are mapped against.
Contribution is claimed only where a mandate can evidence it — indicator, data source and verification method are documented per mandate.

Partnerships for the Goals
Mapped to the UN SDG framework and reported under ISSB-consistent disclosure principles: indicator, data source, verification method and cadence documented per mandate.
Theme 01 · Climate transition
Net-zero alignment, asset by asset.
Commitment. The subsidiary portfolio is being steered through the climate transition in line with ISSB IFRS S2: each holding discloses Scope 1 and 2 emissions, transition exposure and the decarbonisation levers available to its board.
Strategic goal — grow clean-energy and low-carbon exposure across the portfolio while financing industrial modernisation that reduces, rather than relocates, emissions.
Measured outcomes — percentage of subsidiary holdings with climate disclosure in place, direction of travel on Scope 1–2 intensity, and transition capital deployed per year.
Theme 02 · Nature & food systems
Land, water and food security.
Agriculture is where sustainability is most tangible: water efficiency, soil health and food-security value chains. Our agriculture holdings are screened for water stewardship and land practice, and the results feed client reporting as quantified indicators.
Strategic goal — measurable improvement in water productivity and land stewardship across portfolio agriculture, in line with SDG 2 and SDG 6, evidenced by operational data rather than marketing copy.
- Water-intensity metrics per holding
- Food-system value-chain exposure
- SDG 2 · 6 · 12 contribution mapping
Theme 03 · Governance & anti-greenwashing
The governance gate behind every claim.
Sustainability claims pass through the same governance gate as financial figures. The governance function signs off impact language with the same rigour as a P&L statement — indicator, data source, verification method, cadence.
Strategic goal — full SFDR-style disclosure alignment and CSRD-compatible reporting for European partners, so every claim survives a regulator, an auditor and a data vendor alike.
- Indicator before narrative — no orphan claims
- Independent data lines over self-reporting
- Annual assurance-ready impact report
Theme 04 · People & partnerships
Social value and inclusive growth.
Sustainability is also social. Our mandates finance enterprises that employ, train and upskill local talent, and our family-governance work embeds responsible ownership practices aligned with the UN Global Compact principles.
Strategic goal — decent-work indicators and partnership outcomes (SDG 8 · 17) tracked alongside financial performance, reported bilingually for full stakeholder transparency.
- Decent-work standards across subsidiaries
- UN Global Compact alignment
- Bilingual EN/AR impact reporting
