Sustainability Strategy & Objectives

Investindustrial’s ambitious 2030 Sustainability Strategy is key to long-term financial value creation. It builds on the Firm’s mission statement and values and seeks to strengthen aspects of sustainability at a Firm level, through investment in portfolio companies and through Investindustrial’s Foundations.

In 2023, Investindustrial implemented its ambitious 2030 sustainability strategy developed the prior year. Key to long-term financial value creation, the strategy builds on the Firm’s original sustainability approach, which was first developed in 2016.

A materiality assessment was conducted to prioritise sustainability issues based on their importance to Investindustrial and key stakeholders, following  the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Materiality Principle and ongoing investor dialogue. This included competitor benchmarking, reviewing portfolio companies’ sustainability reports and material topics, and considering industry challenges. Internal strategy workshops with senior management were held to develop a strategic purpose and key strategy pillars with associated objectives, targets and initiatives.

Investindustrial annually reviews and updates its material sustainability issues alongside its sustainability strategy, adapting to changes in regulation, investor expectations and its portfolio. In addition to Investindustrial’s strategy, each portfolio company sets medium to long-term sustainability goals tailored to their business to maximise value creation, which are typically included in their own sustainability reports.
