We are built for performance, focused on maximising returns by creating lasting value for our stakeholders.
We believe that by considering material sustainability topics within our own operations, as well as in our investment approach, we can make more informed investment decisions and build businesses that are stronger and more resilient. Ultimately, we believe this contributes to the long-term success of our business and the investments we make.
At CVC, we proactively integrate material sustainability topics into our risk management and value-creation processes to help future-proof our investment portfolio and build trust with external stakeholders, across all investment strategies.

Sustainability Case Studies

There is no guarantee that CVC will successfully implement and make investments that manage sustainability considerations while enhancing long-term value and achieving financial returns. To the extent that CVC engages with portfolio companies on sustainability-related practices and potential enhancements thereto, such engagements may not improve the performance of the investment, or the market or society may not view any such changes to sustainability-related practices as desirable. The act of selecting and evaluating material sustainability considerations is subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria utilised or judgement exercised by CVC will reflect the beliefs or values, internal policies or preferred practices of any particular limited partner or other asset managers or reflect market trends. Successful sustainability engagement efforts will depend on CVC’s and/ or third party advisers’ skill in properly identifying and analysing material sustainability and other considerations and there can be no assurance that the strategy or techniques employed will be successful. Additionally, sustainability considerations are only some of the many considerations that CVC expects to consider in making an investment. Although CVC considers the application of its Responsible Investment framework to be an opportunity to enhance or protect the performance of its investments over the long-term, CVC cannot guarantee that its sustainability framework, which depends in part on qualitative judgements, will positively impact the performance of any individual investment or CVC’s funds as a whole.
