A dedicated investment policy
As a responsible investor and in order to meet its commitments, CIC Private Debt adopted an ESG policy. This policy integrates extra-financial issues throughout the investment process, particularly during the pre-investment phase in order to include ESG in the whole decision-making process; but also during the post-investment phase to raise awareness and support the portfolio companies in their own ESG approach.
ESG in our daily lives
CIC Private Debt strives to have a interdisciplinary approach to ESG by enhancing CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). The Management Company is working to evolve and reduce its impact on the environment as well as to improve its internal practices as they relate to social and governance initiatives.
