Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility As our Company has evolved, our approach has shifted from merely building the business case for awareness of sustainable business practices to actively embedding these practices as a cornerstone of our core business strategy. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues play an important role in our analysis of potential acquisitions. Our strategy is not only a risk mitigation tool but also a differentiator for value creation. ESG factors help us identify opportunities for potential long-term growth, ensuring our subsidiaries are resilient, innovative, and well-positioned for the future. Our sustainability strategy is driven by three main objectives: First, gaining long-term value through the identification of companies with robust sustainability and corporate responsibility credentials. Second, safeguarding our acquisitions from ESG-related risks by choosing companies prepared for various challenges. Third, realizing the benefits of sustainability and corporate responsibility by pinpointing and leveraging opportunities for added value.
