ESG
Argentum’s Work with ESG
Argentum sets high standards for the funds we invest in and has integrated considerations for good ESG practices into its investment process, where assessments made in this regard are disclosed. Our premise is that active ownership funds are very well positioned to influence ESG efforts in portfolio companies, as ownership governance is at the core of our industry. Argentum annually monitors the managers’ work on ESG and summarizes the findings in a separate ESG report.
In addition to securing high financial returns, delivering on aspects related to corporate social responsibility and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) is an integral part of Argentum’s business activities. This applies to investment decisions, our relations with investments partners, and the company’s own operations.
Argentum has followed the principles of the UN Global Compact, which we became a member of in 2012, and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) for several years. In addition to this, Argentum has also prepared and included its own requirements for social responsibility in its investment activities.
In addition to this, Argentum has also prepared and included its own requirements for social responsibility in its investment activities.
