Impilo’s Managing Partner, Fredrik Strömholm comments:
“Joining the ESG Data Convergence Initiative is an important step on our sustainability journey. We believe that managing ESG factors is essential to long-term business success and that it will contribute to a more sustainable healthcare system. The disclosure of our performance is critical, and we are committed to providing investors with accurate, reliable, and comparable ESG data. By working with other leading companies and stakeholders in this initiative, we can help shape the future of ESG data reporting and improve the quality and accessibility of ESG information.”
As part of its commitment to ESG disclosure and standardization, Impilo has already taken a number of steps to enhance its ESG reporting, including requiring portfolio companies to disclose performance against the EDCI indicators as well as a number of other ESG indicators, reporting regularly to investors on portfolio companies’ performance on the Impilo Sustainability Blueprint, and by publishing an annual sustainability report. In addition, Impilo works with its portfolio companies to demonstrate how they contribute to creating health impact.
