Vespa Capital is pleased to share the Summary Scorecard as well as Public Transparency and Assessment Reports as part of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) 2023 annual reporting process.
Following a reorganisation of the UNPRI Reporting Framework, the updated PRI scoring methodology places stronger focus on responsible investment (RI) implementation across overall investment processes and AUM coverage. Furthermore, the framework considers the sophistication of RI practices, consistency of approach, as well as clarity on the timeframe of implementation.
As a signatory of the UNPRI, Vespa Capital is committed to ongoing transparency and accountability regarding our ESG approach. Reporting on responsible investment activities through the PRI’s Reporting Framework further demonstrates Vespa Capital’s obligation to promoting long term sustainable growth and identifying how we can improve ESG investment practices.
Vespa Capital is delighted to have achieved a score of 94% in the Private Equity module, gaining a five-star, top decile rating, measured against a PRI median of 74% amongst the cohort of Investment Managers in Europe with AUM of <USD$1bn. Five stars is awarded to signatories who demonstrate leading responsible investment practices amongst c.3,100 Investment Managers and c.650 Asset Owners.
