Ancala is committed to contributing towards a sustainable future. We enable infrastructure companies to make the world a better place while delivering their value creation plans.
In the 2023 UNPRI assessment, Ancala received the following scores:
The first two categories recognise Ancala’s overall approach to sustainable investment in infrastructure companies. The new Confidence Building Measures category relates to the review and verification of sustainability data.
The UNPRI is a globally recognised initiative that encourages investors to incorporate ESG factors into their decision-making processes, promoting long-term value creation and responsible corporate behaviour.
Ancala has been a UNPRI signatory since 2018. We incorporate sustainability at every phase of the investment cycle, from screening an opportunity through to exiting an investment. Our team continually assesses ESG opportunities and risks at each portfolio company to understand where the most impact can be achieved. We then develop and deliver on bespoke ESG targets which are aligned with each company’s value creation plan.
In the past year, we have delivered several initiatives that contribute to a sustainable future. These include:
Filipa Fonte, ESG Manager at Ancala, commented:
“Our role as an active asset manager paired with our deep industrial experience positions us perfectly to drive and implement ESG improvement plans at portfolio companies which create value. The latest UNPRI scores further demonstrate the rigour of our approach to sustainability.
“We are continuing to enhance our sustainability activities, particularly through the application of new data-led technologies. I’m looking forward to communicating what Ancala and our portfolio companies achieve in the year ahead.”
