Asia Green S.A. SIF-SICAV (the “Fund) complies with the relevant provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector, as may be amended from time-to-time (the “SFDR”).
Asia Green Real Estate’s (the “Investment Manager”) approach to invest in accordance with sustainability-considerations provides a flexible framework that supports implementation across different jurisdictions and reflects the Investment Manager’s commitments to integration of ESG characteristics in the Fund’s investment processes and the conviction that integration of ESG characteristics fosters higher risk-adjusted returns over the long term. While pursuing sustainability objective of climate change mitigation, the Investment Manager mitigates sustainability risks through its stewardship activities across properties in which the Fund’s sub-funds invest.
SFDR Classification
Following the investment objective and investment policy including the investment criteria, as defined in Private Placement Memorandum of the Fund (the “Prospectus”), and the Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Policies of the Investment Manager, two active sub-funds of the Fund, namely Asia Green S.A. SIF-SICAV – Real Estate Fund and Asia Green S.A. SIF-SICAV – Diversified Real Estate Fund (the “Sub-Fund” or collectively the “Sub-Funds”) promote environmental and social characteristics within the meaning of article 9 SFDR.
Environmental and Social Characteristics
Making a positive impact on the environment and society is one of the central considerations and an integral part of the investment process of the Sub-Funds. The Sub-Funds’ primary investment objective is to invest in sustainable real estate projects in Asia. The “Green Building and ESG Strategy”, as may be amended from time-to-time, of the Investment Manager (the “ESG-Investment-Strategy”) stipulates the investment goal of each of the Sub-Fund and defines the approach in achieving this goal. It also specifies how these goals are measured and communicated to the investors. In summary, the Sub-Funds seek to invest in assets which demonstrate strong or improving sustainability attributes across areas such as climate change, natural resource use, health and well-being and community development. The ESG-Investment-Strategy is also part of the agreement with the investment advisor.
Sustainability Risks and Principal Adverse Impacts
The ESG-Investment-Strategy also outlines the relevant sustainability risks and how these are mitigated in the investment process. Sustainability risks are environmental, social or governance events or conditions that, if they occur, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the properties. Sustainability risks may represent frequent risks associated with the investments of the Sub-Funds. The sustainability criteria set out in the ESG-Investment-Strategy are applied to all investments made by the Sub-Funds. Sustainability risks may appear at portfolio or single asset level and impact Sub-Fund’s performance and risk-profile.
The avoidance or mitigation of the sustainability risks and principal adverse impacts of the investment decisions on sustainability factors (“PAI”) are an inherent aspect of the investment process of each Sub-Fund. The ESG Characteristics, sustainability risks and PAI will be assessed and evaluated systematically during each due diligence process. Once an investment has been made, these factors will be monitored, evaluated, measured and – if necessary – addressed on an ongoing basis.
