Our 2024 Sustainability Report is out!
The current political and economic environment is not conducive to long-term commitments. Criticism of sustainable finance is growing, European standards are being challenged, and geopolitical tensions are casting doubt on the role of the investor. Yet, we remain convinced that ESG is not a fad or a tactic. It’s a vision. A way to exercise our responsibility in an unstable world, and to create sustainable value for society. At Sienna IM, this vision translates into a demanding and pragmatic implementation of regulations: we are both producers and users of the data from the CSRD, and we align these requirements with our SFDR framework. Because the companies in which we invest in pursue long-term transformation strategies, we refuse to give in to political procrastination.
Our responsibility is to stay on course, to support transitions with consistency, and to help advance practices within the sectors in which we operate.
It is in this spirit that we decided to launch a fund dedicated to defence-related industrial companies. In a world where security, peace and European sovereignty are threatened, it would be irresponsible to divert capital from these strategic issues. The defense sector must be supported in its transformation, just like any other. Refusing to engage in the name of a simplistic interpretation of ESG is to hide behind strict principles to avoid facing complex realities.
We have chosen consistency. Consistency between our values and our investments. Between the demands of the present and the long-term horizon that guides our mission. It is this consistency that we will continue to uphold in 2025.
Have a look at our 2024 Sustainability Report, which provides a comprehensive view on Sienna IM’s ESG approach, with a focus on our climate and biodiversity strategy and the progress we have made since 2023.
