At Prosus Equity, we recognize the urgent need for collective action to address the challenges posed by climate change and promote a sustainable future. We understand the critical role that private equity firms can play in driving positive change. Therefore, we pledge our commitment to global carbon emissions reduction and sustainable investment, guided by the following principles:

Carbon Emissions Reduction：

We will actively work to reduce the carbon emissions of our portfolio companies, setting ambitious targets for emission reductions in line with scientific consensus and international climate goals.

We will collaborate with our portfolio companies to develop and implement strategies to mitigate climate risks, enhance energy efficiency, transition to renewable energy sources, and promote sustainable business practices.

We will measure, monitor, and transparently report on the carbon emissions of our portfolio companies, fostering accountability and driving continuous improvement.

Sustainable Investment

We will integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into our investment decision-making processes, considering the long-term sustainability and resilience of potential investments.

We will actively seek investments in companies and projects that contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy, promote resource efficiency, and advance sustainable development.

We will engage with our portfolio companies and stakeholders to promote responsible business practices, stakeholder inclusivity, and respect for human rights, fostering a culture of sustainability and ethical conduct.

Collaboration and Advocacy：

We will actively engage with industry peers, investors, policymakers, and stakeholders to foster knowledge sharing, best practices, and collaborative efforts to address climate change and promote sustainable investment.

We will advocate for supportive policies and regulations that incentivize and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy, working towards alignment with global climate goals such as the Paris Agreement.

We will support initiatives and organizations dedicated to climate action, sustainability, and the advancement of environmental and social causes through strategic partnerships, financial contributions, and active participation.

Transparency and Accountability

We will provide transparent and comprehensive reporting on our progress towards our carbon emissions reduction and sustainable investment goals, ensuring accountability to our stakeholders and the wider public.

We will regularly review and assess the effectiveness of our sustainability initiatives, seeking opportunities for improvement and sharing lessons learned with our portfolio companies and industry peers.

Through this pledge, we affirm our dedication to leveraging our resources, expertise, and influence as a private equity firm to combat climate change, reduce carbon emissions, and foster sustainable investment practices. We understand that these commitments require ongoing effort and collaboration, and we embrace the responsibility to drive positive change for the benefit of future generations and the health of our planet.
