Castik Capital publishes 2024 ESG Report
04.09.2025
We are delighted to share our 2024 ESG Report, showcasing yet another year of meaningful ESG engagement across our portfolio companies, as well as within our own operations at Castik.
With ESG fully embedded throughout our investment cycle, we are pleased to report the significant strides many of our portfolio companies have made in their sustainability journeys. Over the past year, we have helped accelerate ESG progress through:
- improved ESG data collection, implementing a new ESG reporting platform to improve data quality and consistency
- proactive engagement to support ESG initiatives, introducing a portfolio-wide ESG scorecard built on Castik-defined metrics that reflect the material topics most relevant to our investment strategy, and
- ensuring each portfolio company has at least one dedicated ESG professional driving ESG efforts across their business.
This enhanced framework has improved accountability and will support ongoing ESG advancements going forward, allowing us to gain a more comprehensive view of portfolio progress.
Within our own Castik operations, we have continued to invest in educating our people on ESG initiatives. We hosted ESG training sessions for our investment team to align our goals and further embed ESG into our investment approach. Our aim is to ensure ESG factors are consistently considered and evaluated alongside financial metrics, empowering our team to mitigate risks and capitalise on emerging ESG opportunities, ultimately driving investor value.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to furthering our ESG ambitions, aligning with international standards, and proactively responding to the evolving environmental and social risks and opportunities affecting our investments. We plan to expand ESG awareness by delivering training at the Castik Board level. We also recognise that many portfolio companies are facing similar ESG challenges, and with this in mind we are looking to support wider knowledge sharing across our management teams. We look forward to hosting our first in-person ESG roundtable shortly, bringing together ESG leads from across our portfolio to share experiences, exchange ideas, and foster collaboration.
Finally, we are delighted to welcome Donata Haque-Bernutz as our new ESG Manager and look forward to introducing her to our investors at our upcoming Investor Advisory Board Meeting.
