MCP believes that responsible investing helps to drive long-term value creation for investors, portfolio companies and the society at large. The long-term nature and ownership model of the private equity asset class essentially supports responsible investing. This is why we are convinced that responsible investing can reduce risk while increasing performance potential.
Since 2014, MCP has been a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment issued by the United Nations (UNPRI)
MCP monitors and discusses potential ESG topics with the managers of the portfolio companies in order to assure an ongoing ESG focus during the holding period
MCP incorporates ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes by performing an ESG due diligence at the time of the acquisition. A bad rating can cause the refusal of the investment opportunity
MCP seeks appropriate disclosure on ESG issues including in the periodic reporting to the investors activities and progresses towards implementing the UN Principles
