Responsible Investment

At Buenavista Equity Partners, we have created a list of key performance indicators to demonstrate our transformation in the ESG field, as well as to benchmark our ESG progress across our three divisions.

ESG integration indicators

We analyze the measures carried out during the investment process using indicators we have developed internally to assess ESG integration before and during the investment period. Buenavista is currently studying how to calculate the added value that ESG actions have brought to the company at the time of exit.

Key performance indicators

We measure key performance indicators and the progress of our portfolio companies across our three business units, while remaining aware of the differences between them.

We hold a majority stake in Private Equity, which has given us the opportunity to make decisions and advance ESG matters more swiftly. Our goal is to measure the effectiveness of our mission to inspire and raise awareness about the importance of good business practices centered on these important issues.

To carry out this analysis, we assess the measures taken during and after the investment period to evaluate ESG integration. We thus monitor the corporate governance, social and environmental fields using the information provided by our portfolio companies. The key indicators we consider, which expand or vary depending on the type of asset or sector involved, are as follows:

The existence of independent directors, a code of ethics/ethics policy, an anti-money laundering and anti-corruption policy, and compliance systems

01. Corporate governance

Equal opportunity plans, talent attraction and retention, data protection measures, an occupational risk plan, corporate volunteering initiatives and actions on the environment

02. Social

Control of waste and consumption, the existence of environmental policies and certifications, and the measurement of the carbon footprint

03. Environment

At Buenavista, we have been investing in companies and their management teams for 30 years. We firmly believe that the proper implementation and monitoring of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria lead to a Sustainability Policy that ensures value creation in our asset managers and their portfolios. This contribution leaves a lasting legacy in society, even after our exit.

Buenavista’s main objective is to maximize economic returns for our investors, always doing so through the ethical management of funds and the application of rigorous environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria to the portfolio. We firmly believe that our work is to create value every day for our investors and for our society
