ESG

Sustainability is more than a principle – it is the framework for our actions.
With clear ESG priorities, we focus on long-term value creation for the environment, society, and good corporate governance.

Sustainable Growth with Long-Term Value

At SOL, we combine economic success with social responsibility. We deliberately invest in companies that create long-term value – for the environment, society, and future generations.

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is an integral part of our investment strategy. This promotes stability, minimizes risks, and increases sustainable enterprise value.

Our Stance: Responsibility Is not optional – it is a Prerequisite for future-proof Investments.

Responsibility Throughout the Investment Process

We integrate ESG factors into every phase of the investment cycle – from analysis to exit:

Due Diligence: Assessing sustainability opportunities and risks

Value Creation: Promoting sustainable business practices

Monitoring: Continuous ESG evaluation and development

Exit: Responsible handover to new owners

Our measures are based on recognized standards such as the GRI Guidelines and are anchored in our internal policies and Code of Conduct.

Sustainability Begins with Our Own Actions

Commitment to Sustainability

SOL is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) – and lives ESG not only in theory but in daily practice. The PRI principles are a fixed component of our investment strategy.
