Incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into the investment process

Alkemia Capital SGR S.p.A. acknowledges the critical importance of integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its investment process. Although the company has not yet formally subscribed to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), none of its funds are currently classified as 'PRI-compliant.' Nonetheless, Alkemia has developed and implemented its own ESG policy, aimed at promoting sustainable practices and incorporating these principles into its investment decisions.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We have developed an ESG policy that guides our investment decisions, and we are committed to implementing these practices in our operational processes. We believe that the adoption of ESG criteria is crucial to creating lasting value not only for our investors but also for society as a whole.

Our Approach

Our approach to sustainability focuses on identifying investment opportunities that can positively contribute to the environment, society, and corporate governance.

Although our funds are not yet fully PRI-compliant, our ESG policy allows us to assess the impact of our operations and promote continuous improvement in business practices

Non-consideration of the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors (disclosure art. 4).

Alkemia SGR S.p.A., in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 27, 2019, on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector, declares that it does not take into account the negative impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors.

This is due to the fact that it is currently not possible to identify and, therefore, objectively measure the main negative impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors (i.e., environmental, social, and employee-related issues, human rights compliance, and issues related to the fight against both active and passive corruption), given the scarcity of data and the technical challenges in obtaining such data for all financial products currently offered by the asset management company, which prevent the provision of a reliable and comprehensive overview of the impact of investment decisions on sustainability factors.

Information on the consistency of remuneration policies with the integration of sustainability risks (disclosure under Article 5)

In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and Council of November 27, 2019, on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector, Alkemia SGR S.p.A. has adopted a policy ensuring the alignment of remuneration and incentive policies and practices with the integration of sustainability risks.

In particular, the remuneration and incentive systems of the SGR are based on principles and criteria that ensure ongoing alignment with the company’s strategy, objectives, and values – including sustainable finance goals that consider, among other factors, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects – as well as with the interests of the SGR, the alternative investment funds it manages, or the investors of such funds, linking them to risks (including sustainability risks).

The criteria used to measure individual performance and risks, both qualitative and quantitative, are aligned with the decision-making level and responsibilities of each employee and discourage excessive exposure to sustainability risks.

This is due to the fact that it is currently not possible to identify and, therefore, objectively measure the main negative impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors (i.e., environmental, social, and employee-related issues, human rights compliance, and issues related to the fight against both active and passive corruption), given the scarcity of data and the technical challenges in obtaining such data for all financial products currently offered by the asset management company, which prevent the provision of a reliable and comprehensive overview of the impact of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
