Sustainability

Palladio Partners is an asset management boutique focusing on illiquid investments that places responsible investing and long-term orientation at the core of its strategic positioning. We commit ourselves to invest responsibly by creating enduring value. Our focus is on investing in companies and projects fulfilling basic needs and providing long-term social and economic value. We thereby adopt a life cycle perspective. Long-term positive and potential negative outcomes are consistently considered in our daily activities, by considering also scenarios which are unlikely in the medium term. This naturally includes integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects into all investment and management decisions.

We serve institutional investors that are looking for long-term investments to provide a secure retirement for millions of beneficiaries. Given that our investment strategy relies on stable environmental conditions and political systems as well as social stability, we recognize the importance of ESG aspects. We believe that incorporating ESG considerations into our processes will allow us to generate additional value to our stakeholders, increase the resilience of our investments and provide better risk management.

Since the inception of the firm, Palladio Partners upholds a high standard of business integrity. As part of our holistic approach to responsibility, we also encourage our business partners to adhere to these values. Whether we invest in funds or directly in companies, we always seek transparency and disclosure on relevant ESG topics.

These principles apply equally to everything we do, to managing and advising both pooled funds and segregated mandates. 

Palladio Partners is a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and an active member of associations aiming to enable long-term sustainable development of economies and countries, such as Initiative deutsche Infrastruktur and the Long-Term Infrastructure Investors Association. Furthermore, Palladio Partners supports the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
