Over the last few years, management at Quadrivio Group has placed increasing attention on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues, constantly favouring sustainable and responsible investments.

Measuring, managing, and mitigating environmental, social, and governance risks is now an essential requirement for private equity operators, which responds to the growing sensitivity developed by investors with respect to these issues.

Quadrivio Group integrates ESG issues in all operational phases: from the investment operation up to the exit phase.

At this phase, a screening of the company being analysed is completed, thoroughly assessing its exposure to ESG risk factors as well as its ability to cope with them. In this phase it is vital to have ESG due diligence.

In this second phase ESG principles are applied to all investment activities, whose performances and sustainability are assessed. Key performance indicators (KPIs) also need to be identified, and included in the action plan. Finally, all data collected is aggregated into annual reports.

In the final phase, which corresponds to the sale of the company in the portfolio, the most relevant ESG factors are assessed, so as to give investors evidence of the actions undertaken in compliance with the ESG policy, thus ensuring optimal management of environmental aspects.
