ESG

Nexterra applies the best practices of responsible investment with an ESG-integrated approach, encouraging its stakeholders to give greater importance to ESG issues. 

Ethos

Environmental, social and governance and impact (ESGI) considerations are a fundamental part of this commitment. Our ESGI strategy is deeply rooted in Nexterra’s DNA, and aims to go beyond ESG to maximize positive impact for the communities. Our impact approach focuses on improving the sustainability of operations and job quality and diversity in every portfolio company. We infuse a culture of strong ESG responsibility, so that the ESG commitment lives on well beyond our investment.

Sustainability

Our approach to sustainability unlocks scale, impact, and longevity for well-run businesses. We aim to deliver positive outcomes and more resilient returns by taking action to improve the well-being and long-term prospects of people and the planet.

Nexterra applies the best practices of responsible investment and leads with an ESG-integrated approach.

Within Nexterra govern our environmental and social management system (ESMS), which builds on the IFC’s Sustainability Framework to provide insights to inform responsible investment decision-making, reporting and risk mitigation throughout the investment cycle.

We aim to consciously deploy capital to maximise and analyse the value and impact our work brings to economies, people and the planet.

We welcome the EU regulation on sustainability-related discourses in the financial services sector (SFDR) as a truecatalyst driving the integration of ESG risks into the investment decisions.

Nexterra Capital Fund I is classified as an Article 8 under SFDR, and we continue to advocate and embed ESG into our mission.

Impact Strategy

At Nexterra, we invest with purpose. We actively seek opportunities that create meaningful impact in crucial areas such as gender equality, job creation, and climate action. By doing so, we contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

To effectively address the development challenges and seize emerging opportunities, we will focus on key strategic areas: resilience, climate action, and inclusive economies. We closely monitor impact-oriented themes that align with the needs of the countries and companies we serve. Additionally, we track and report performance in line with the SDGs for every investment we make, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Core Focus:

Inclusion (2, 5, 10)

Resilience (1, 8)

Climate Action (7, 12, 13)
