ESG

Connected By Communities

ENVIRONMENT

Environmental qualities are the first criteria to be identified in the pre-investment analysis and evaluation process of each new opportunity.

It is essential for Entangled Capital to have a true and complete representation of the target companies by analyzing environmental aspects such as:

  • type and energy consumption;
  • waste and scrap treatment;
  • atmospheric impact of industrial production;
  • use and disposal of water.

On the outcome of the analyzes conducted by external consultants during the initial due diligence, the management team, with the support of the management of the target companies, identifies a plan of concrete actions to be included in the business plan which highlights the goals that can be achieved in order to enhance business’ sustainability and to increase awareness of the importance of environmental issues in the company’s management.

SOCIAL

Social aspects are related to several business factors such as:

  • size;
  • relationship with the communities;
  • type of sector;
  • historical evolution of the company.

The assessment and improvement of these aspects may not be immediate and may be linked to a cultural change which could require a medium-long term process, consistent with the holding period usually experience by a Private Equity Fund in portfolio companies.
The first evaluations of the social criteria are carried out by the Entangled Capital team by comparing the target company with the best practices of the sector to which it belongs.
Subsequently, with the support of specialized consultants, the actions required to create value in this area are identified, such as, improvement of working conditions and the surrounding environment, taking into account the local social fabric in which the company operates, to achieve an improved social background.

GOVERNANCE

The organizational structure of portfolio companies is the first aspect impacted by the managerial approach introduced by Entangled Capital in combination with the execution of the investment operation.
Our strategy aims to acquire majority stakes, with the provision of appointing professional directors to monitor the evolution of the target company and to implement the business plan.
The management of the portfolio companies is supported by tools:

  • to organize key information;
  • to better identify the activities and responsible professionals;
  • to achieve the growth and value creation identified for the target.
