Sustainability Policy

Introduction

At Aeon Nexus, sustainability is fundamental to our mission of fostering long-term growth and value creation. We are dedicated to integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into all aspects of our business, from our internal operations to the investments we make. Our approach is built on the belief that sustainable practices are essential for driving innovation, reducing risk, and ensuring the longevity and success of the businesses we support.

Our Commitment

Environmental Stewardship:

We recognise that our actions have an impact on the environment, and we are committed to minimizing this impact through responsible and proactive measures. Our environmental strategy includes:

• Resource Efficiency: Actively reducing energy consumption and optimising resource use across our operations. We prioritise the adoption of energy-efficient technologies and practices, and we support initiatives that aim to lower our carbon footprint.
• Sustainable Procurement: Ensuring that the materials and services we procure are sourced sustainably. We work with suppliers who share our commitment to reducing environmental impact, and we prioritise products that are recyclable, reusable, or made from renewable resources.
• Carbon Reduction: We implement policies that encourage low-carbon travel, energy conservation, and the use of renewable energy sources.

Social Responsibility:

We believe that businesses have a vital role to play in promoting social equity and community well-being. Our social responsibility initiatives focus on:

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Fostering a workplace culture that values diversity and inclusivity. We are committed to providing equal opportunities and ensuring that all employees, regardless of background, feel respected and valued.
• Employee Wellbeing: Prioritising the health, safety, and overall well-being of our employees. We offer comprehensive wellness programs, flexible work arrangements, and professional development opportunities to ensure a balanced and fulfilling work environment.
• Ethical Governance: Upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all our business activities. We are committed to operating with transparency, fairness, and accountability in every interaction, both internally and externally.

Governance and Accountability:

Robust governance is key to ensuring that our sustainability commitments are effectively implemented and maintained. Our governance framework includes:

• ESG Integration: Embedding ESG principles into our investment decisions and business strategies. We assess the sustainability performance of our portfolio companies and work with them to enhance their ESG practices.
• Transparency and Reporting: Committing to regular, transparent reporting on our sustainability initiatives and performance. We engage with our stakeholders to provide clear and honest updates on our progress and the challenges we face.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Actively engaging with our stakeholders, including clients, investors, employees, and community members, to understand their concerns and incorporate their feedback into our sustainability efforts.
• Continuous Improvement: Committing to the continuous improvement of our sustainability practices. We regularly review and refine our policies and strategies to stay at the forefront of sustainable business practices.

Sustainable Investing

As part of our mission to drive sustainable growth, we are committed to making investments that not only deliver financial returns but also contribute positively to society and the environment. Our sustainable investing approach includes:

• ESG Due Diligence: Conducting comprehensive ESG assessments as part of our investment due diligence process. We evaluate potential investments on their environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices to ensure alignment with our sustainability goals.
• Long-Term Value Creation: Prioritizing investments that offer long-term value and have the potential to drive positive change. We seek out companies that are committed to innovation, sustainability, and ethical practices.
• Support for Innovation: Investing in technologies and business models that address global challenges, such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality. We support companies that are developing solutions to create a more sustainable future.
