ESG-RELATED DISCLOSURES
As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing global issue, the transition toward a low-carbon, sustainable, and circular economy is no longer a distant ideal but a practical and necessary shift in the near term. In response, the European Union has introduced several initiatives designed to steer capital toward sustainable activities. Among these is the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which aims to establish a transparent and consistent framework that mitigates the risk of greenwashing and promotes sustainable financial development. At Crown group (with Rausch Capital Luxembourg S.à r.l. registered as an AIFM under number A00003593 with the Luxembourg Financial Supervisory Authority, the “CSSF”), ESG principles are embedded at the core of our investment philosophy. ESG considerations are fully integrated into our investment process, enabling us to both identify and prioritize principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors and evaluate the potential influence of sustainability risks on financial performance. Our ESG due diligence framework is designed to assess both dimensions, ensuring a balanced approach between sustainability and financial returns.
Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088
According to article 3 of the SFDR, financial advisors shall publish on their websites information about their policies on the integration of sustainability risks in their investment decision process. Crown group’s ESG Policy and Responsible Investment Policy address Crown group’s integration of sustainability risks throughout Crown group’s investment process and operations, including our ESG due diligence framework. Through our ESG due diligence framework, we on one hand identify and prioritize principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors and on the other hand, assess sustainability risks on financial returns.
Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088
In accordance with article 4 of the SFDR, financial market participants – including alternative investment fund managers with less than 500 employees – can choose whether or not to consider principal adverse impact of its investment decisions on sustainability factors. Although not being legally required to do so, Crown group has decided to consider principal adverse impact of investment decisions on sustainability factors across all managed funds.
