Climate action

We believe that a commercial strategy anchored in the climate agenda will help to reduce systematic risk, build resilience, and access new markets opportunities while securing our societal license to operate.

Decarbonising our economies is a major international agenda, and we are committed to playing our part in tackling climate change by reducing GHG emissions across our group. Taking climate action is also a key strategic priority for all our portfolio companies. Our efforts range from diligent carbon accounting to developing a multi-year reduction pathway guided by science-based targets and executing reduction efforts in line with this.

Environmental impact

Our portfolio companies catalyse responsible consumption, scale the circular economy and limit our impact on the natural environment around us.

Due to the digital nature of our business, our portfolio companies are asset-light businesses operating digital platforms that have a limited need for natural resources in their value chain beyond office space and equipment. Some of our businesses enable resource optimisation by promoting the recycling and re-use of goods (classifieds segment).
