We believe in responsible investing and growing sustainable businesses with a purpose that goes beyond generating returns.
Our Manifesto
We firmly believe we have a collective responsibility towards our planet and society. We are committed to sustainable investing, that goes beyond generating attractive returns to investors and makes a positive impact on both. As specialist investors we know the foodservice industry has a significant impact on the environment, and as such together with our portfolio companies, we are always exploring new sustainable ways towards packaging, waste reduction, energy efficiency and responsible procurement.
Our Approach to ESG
We have adopted and adhere to comprehensive environment, social and governance (ESG) principles at all stages of our investment process. We regard ESG not only as a commitment towards our stakeholders, but also as a significant part of our investment thesis and an increasing source of value creation. We actively work with our portfolio companies to help them incorporate and adhere to ESG principles.
Our Actions for an Inclusive Capitalism
Capdesia is an active Member of the Council of Inclusive Capitalism, which is a global community of business leaders taking action for an inclusive and more sustainable economy that works for all. Council members commit their organizations to specific, measurable actions and publicly declare these commitments on the Council’s online platform, which you can see here for Capdesia. We also share best practices, as for example Co-Founder and Managing Director Niels Lorijn did in a talk about Shrinking Waste in Food Services.
