Sustainability

Being a responsible owner means that sustainability matters are factored in from day one, throughout the entire investment process.

We assess environmental, social and governance matters as an integrated part of our due diligence prior to a potential acquisition. Environmental risks are evaluated based on regulatory compliance and permitting, social risks based on working conditions and relationships with employees and suppliers, and governance based on management structure and business ethics. If a material risk is identified, it directly influences the investment decision – through adjusted pricing, specific conditions, or choosing not to proceed.

The companies we invest in are often going through significant change. That demands active ownership where risks are not only identified at acquisition, but monitored throughout the holding period. As majority owners, we are represented on the board of each portfolio company and maintain close dialogue with management on the issues that affect long-term value – sustainability matters being part of that.

Overall responsibility for sustainability matters rests with the partners of Lazarus.
