ESG
ESG at the core of
AltamarCAM's activity
We firmly believe that excellence in the performance of our business through active ESG policies is the best way to fulfil our commitment to investors and society.
ESG Strategy
This approach has been set out in a middle term ESG Strategy approved by the Board of Directors, which leverages technology and the different areas across the firm. The ESG Strategy is underpinned by four pillars covering from the ESG integration at the corporate level to the core investment activity of the group.
All of the above, allows us to improve the resilience of our business and the creation of long-term value for our investors, strengthening our role as a trusted advisor.
AltamarCAM has Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors at the core of its values and culture and strives to integrate them in all its activities. We work to consolidate best practices in sustainability across all areas of the firm, leveraging technology to achieve scalable processes aligned with top market standards.
This way we seek to become a trusted advisor for our clients and a driver of positive change in the financial sector and society, delivering long-term value to all our stakeholders.

ESG in the Investment Process
ESG factors are considered when evaluating investment opportunities as an integral part of the investment process, from the Due Diligence to the final investment decision. Engagement with fund managers (GPs) and companies in which the firm invests is key and their commitment with sustainability is closely monitored through an internal ex-ante ESG DD Questionnaire, an ESG scoring model and an in depth ex-post ESG monitoring/analysing process (bottom-up).
