ESG
our common potential
SHS and its fund investors do not consider the integration of ESG factors as a limitation, but rather as an opportunity to realise sustainable and promising growth opportunities.
ESG in the life cycle of an investment
SHS has established ESG processes along the entire life cycle of its investments. This is the basis for a value-enhancing, risk-reducing and sustainable capital investment.
We exclude companies that don’t share our ESG-based values from an investment. Fields like pre-natal diagnostics are banned by our fund statutes.
We are advising our portfolio companies on a regular basis to overcome potential ESG issues which we found during our investment process to improve their ESG score.
Until the exit, we monitor the ESG activities of our portfolio companies in a proactive manner every quarter and their improvements with our scoring solution on a yearly basis.
Social Responsibility
Investing and its effects
Investments in healthcare through Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) have treated 1.7 million patients across 88 countries, focusing on areas like oncology and cardiovascular health, which has been a source of pride for investors.
Healthcare is one of the areas to be when it comes to social responsibility investing (SRI). To improve the health of millions of people in the world (family members, close relatives, friends) in areas like oncology, heart attack, stroke or the current disastrous Covid-19 pandemic is something our investors are very proud of.
