At the heart of AURELIUS´ investment strategy lies a responsible ownership philosophy. This begins with a careful selection process where AURELIUS avoids any opportunities tied to unacceptable risks emanating from non-compliance or non-remediable practices.

AURELIUS´ due diligence process goes far beyond financial vetting. Sustainability considerations are integrated into our comprehensive analysis of potential investments. The goal is to identify relevant sustainability opportunities and risks during this phase using both internal and external sources, including principles outlined by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). Any red flags related to sustainability concerns are promptly identified, enabling AURELIUS to avoid pitfalls and build a more robust and responsible portfolio.

AURELIUS achieves the greatest sustainability impact by assisting the portfolio assets in the implementation of sustainability topics. The principle of active ownership becomes even more potent when integrated with the operational excellence methodologies. This synergy empowers AURELIUS to create not just financially sound businesses, but responsible corporate citizens.

AURELIUS establishes appropriate collaboration models and best practice sharing between and across the own teams and the portfolio companies. AURELIUS has a flexible approach to supporting its portfolio companies on sustainability matters. In close cooperation with the portfolio companies´ management, AURELIUS supports with various sustainability tasks.

Monitoring isn’t a one-off process; it’s a continuous commitment. AURELIUS´ focus lies in diligent data collection and thorough analysis, which allows to proactively address any material sustainability matters. Furthermore, AURELIUS ensures compliance with relevant laws and industry standards and integrates sustainability factors into risk management models. This dynamic approach to monitoring enables AURELIUS to identify and resolve issues swiftly, pushing the needle toward continuous improvement and positive impact.

Sustainability is a value driver, especially when it comes to the exit phase. Our exit process considers the strides made in sustainability initiatives, measured against predefined indicators. This comprehensive assessment ensures that the company’s sustainability performance plays a pivotal role in the success of an exit, reinforcing our belief that well-implemented sustainability strategies not only mitigate risks but also amplify value.
