Linzor has continued its efforts to improve the ESG and impact performance of its portfolio companies, especially those in Fund III. This year, we are proud to present an update on the progress achieved by the portfolio one year after the first report was published. On average, the LCP III portfolio companies achieved increases of 25 percentage points in their SDG Action Manager score for SDG #5 Gender Equality and of 23 percentage points for SDG #13 Climate Action. Although ESG has been a component in Linzor’s investment strategy for many years, we believe that the structured approach developed over the last two years has succeeded in raising the priority of ESG and impact matters at the top levels of governance, ensuring senior management buy-in and closer linkage with the business strategy, as further discussed in the report.
During the past year, Linzor also continued its leadership of responsible investment efforts in the region, becoming the first LatAm GP to join the ESG Data Convergence Initiative and the only one to serve in one of its working groups, as well as the only LatAm-based private equity signatory to the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative.
