ESG & Impact Policy

Pace conducts an overall ESG and impact assessment of the likely risks associated with investments pursuant to the fund‘s investment policy and objectives. Depending on the investment case, Pace takes into account specific supranational standards, including the Impact Reporting and Investment Standards (IRIS+), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the Planetary Boundaries to ensure the fund supports the endeavours of thoroughly mission-driven companies. To achieve this, Pace examines the overall possible output and outcome of each company as well as possible negative effects of each company. Pace takes ESG and impact aspects into account before the investment itself, and throughout the investment period. Pace is actively engaging with investee companies through the lifecycle of the investment to improve the long-term sustainability of their business model (e.g ESG policies and action plans).
