VINCI aims to integrate ESG issues into the investment process followed by the Private Equity, Real Estate and Infrastructure divisions. This should be aligned with Vinci Partners’ endorsement to the United Nations’ Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI). PRI encourages investors to use responsible investment to enhance returns and better manage risks
In cases where VINCI determines it has limited ability to conduct a due diligence or to influence and control the integration of ESG considerations in the investment—for example, in cases where VINCI is a minority shareholder, or where other circumstances affect VINCI’s ability to assess, set, or monitor ESG-related performance goals—it may not be feasible to implement ESG-related principles. This condition must be previously approved by the relevant Investment Committee as part of the investment decision process. In such instances where VINCI believes it to be appropriate, reasonable efforts will be made to encourage the portfolio companies to consider relevant ESG-related principles
