Sustainability - from responsibility to social impact

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Tesi’s operations. At Tesi, sustainability encompasses two areas: responsibility in our own operations and our positive social impact.

Sustainability as a cross-cutting theme in our operations

We believe that responsible business conduct is both a competitive advantage and a prerequisite for long-term success.

Growth companies are key players in addressing global challenges and promoting sustainable development – when growth companies and the venture capital and private equity market that finances them succeed, society as a whole benefits.

We view sustainability from the perspectives of business opportunities and sustainable development:

  • Responsibility is a key operating principle and an integral part of our investment and decision-making processes.
  • We promote sustainable development and responsible business practices together with other investors, fund management companies, our portfolio companies and other stakeholders.
  • We adhere to the principles of good corporate governance as well as international standards and agreements concerning, for example, workers’ rights and the environment. We expect the same from our portfolio companies.
  • We report regularly and transparently on our activities and the development of responsible investing.
  • Tesi’s Board of Directors approves our sustainability policy and oversees its implementation. The CFO is responsible for managing sustainability at the management level, and all employees are responsible for applying it in their own work.
