Dialogue with family offices
We actively engage in dialogue with other families and family offices. This takes place in all discretion and mutual openness. We share with each other where we stand, what we have learned, what mistakes we have made and what we find difficult or easy.
In several investments, we share the ownership with other families. We think co-ownership is a good model for having a diverse perspective. We therefore often make our sustainable progress together with others. We actively engage in conversation on topics such as transparency, our role in society and long-term thinking. A lot of families and family offices are active in the donation and impact world and strive to make their investment portfolios and businesses more sustainable.
Engage with our investments and philanthropy on ESG and Impact
We actively engage with all the investments and charities we contribute to. We share our assessments and insights in order to achieve acceleration in Sustainable Progress. This requires a lot of time from our team and our investments. We actively bring companies together around certain sustainability themes. In 2020 we discussed ESG policies, carbon, Science Based Targets and the approaching EU taxonomy together. We share our network with our investments and especially young startups can benefit a lot from this. We actively use our network to support companies.
With charities we discuss ESG screening and possible output and impact parameters. We also want to strengthen them with our network.
