ESG Profile
As an investment company Blue Cap AG invests in medium-sized companies with a clear potential for improving earnings and growth prospects. Our focus is on companies from industrial niches and business services segments. This reveals particularities concerning sustainability: Many aspects of the supply chain have to be considered ecologically. Socioeconomically, we are jointly responsible as employers for maintaining and preferably expanding our portfolio companies and establishing standards for workers' rights in the supply chain as well.
In 2020 and 2021, we started to develop a comprehensive sustainability strategy out of the holding company and together with our portfolio companies. In this context, we have integrated ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) into all central fields of action of our BUY, TRANSFORM & SELL business model:
BUY: We implement ESG criteria in the investment process and due diligence to minimise ESG risks and to identify ESG based value growth potential. We use negative lists to exclude sectors and business models that are critical from an ESG perspective.
TRANSFORM: Our aim is to permanently increase the sustainability performance of all portfolio companies while they are part of the Blue Cap Group, e.g. by reducing the CO2 footprint or by developing sustainable products. We monitor and measure this progress using clearly defined qualitative and quantitative indicators.
SELL: We want to ensure sustainable ongoing development by considering ESG criteria based on the best owner approach and integrating an ESG risk profile into the equity story.
In a materiality analysis in 2020, we identified four essential fields of action for the Blue Cap Group:
// Ecology: use of natural resources
// Climate protection and adaptation to climate change
// Employees: working practices and attractiveness as an employer
// Product portfolio and added value: quality and safety
With our sustainability strategy, we are pursuing the goal of improving the sustainability performance of our portfolio companies and ensuring the sustainable further development of the entire group. To this end, we have set ourselves a specific climate target: Reduction of CO2 emission equivalents by -36% by 2030 and by -58% by 2035 (base year 2021)
