    ESG

    Proval Invest is convinced that sustainable investment and the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are in the long-term interests of all its investors and partners. Proval Invest therefore recognises and supports the growing importance of ESG criteria in alternative investments.

    We are convinced that such commitments can generate sustainable value for our investors, improve long-term investment performance and align with Proval Invest's commitment as a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). In addition, we are committed to promoting ESG principles within our industry and society.

    Our primary focus is on upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, actively contributing to the sustainability of our communities, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and raising awareness of ESG issues among the various stakeholders in our investment funds. ESG considerations have therefore been integrated into our investment policies and procedures.

    We recognize the importance of taking ESG principles into account during due diligence processes, in order to effectively anticipate and mitigate risks. In addition, we consider it our duty to provide transparency to our investors regarding our approach to integrating ESG principles into our investment process. Through these efforts, we strive to create sustainable value for all stakeholders while promoting responsible investment practices.
