At Generation Capital, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ethos is at the core of our investment philosophy. We believe that responsible investment and sustainable business practices are indispensable in creating enduring value. Our ESG framework extends across our diverse portfolio, touching every sector from waste and sewage management, to advanced water desalination, renewable energy, and quality public transportation. This integrated approach not only drives financial robustness, but also fosters positive societal and environmental impact. Through our proactive investment strategy, we’re committed to advancing a greener economy and promoting transparency, ethical governance, and community engagement, ensuring a sustainable, prosperous future for all stakeholders involved.

Since the establishment of the fund in 2018, we aspire to manage the fund’s investments with a proactive investment approach characterized mainly by management, appreciation, guidance, and value creation. We believe that the business values of our portfolio companies are also intertwined with their social-environmental-economic impact. Therefore, to strengthen the business value and impact of our portfolio companies, we have developed and embedded a responsible investment policy (ESG) over the last two years that articulates the strategic importance of environmental, social, and corporate governance areas for the fund, and their long-term influence on investment performance.
Following the approval of the policy, we embarked on a broad process of implementing environmental and social standards across all our assets, alongside advanced principles of corporate governance, ethics and integrity, and the development of an advanced mechanism for evaluating and monitoring the ESG performance of our assets. In the report, you can read extensively about our activities in promoting responsible investments in the fund.
The climate crisis and the preservation of environmental quality are significant challenges for the global economy today, and we believe that the financial sector plays a vital role in promoting steps to cope with these challenges.
In light of this, we aspire to continue and promote a green environment and support the transition to a low-carbon economy through extensive investments in the field of waste and sewage treatment, establishment and operation of advanced water desalination facilities, promotion of quality public transportation in the country and around the world, and expanding our activities in the production of renewable energy. In the last two years, we have continued to promote these areas with greater intensity, and we believe that alongside the global challenges inherent in the climate crisis, the segments in which we are invested will be a significant source of new business opportunities and the expansion of existing activities of our portfolio companies.
The successful coping of Generation Capital in the last two years with global economic, social, and environmental challenges is a direct result of a quality management team alongside an investment strategy that emphasizes empowering portfolio companies and creating value.
This is an opportunity for us to thank and take pride in the approximately 4,000 employees and managers employed in various activities that enable us to represent value creation while promoting social-environmental-economic impact.

In order to promote an effective policy in the ESG areas, Generation has decided to focus its efforts on nine guiding lines, three from each of the environmental, social, and corporate governance sectors.
These guiding lines include substantial topics for Generation in managing its investments in the ESG areas, and are based on its willingness to promote a sustainable policy in all its investments, in relation to the risks and opportunities included in this. The guiding lines will allow Generation to manage its responsible investment policy broadly, and at the same time, will allow flexibility to account for the circumstances and unique characteristics of each investment.
Climate change is considered the biggest and most significant challenge for humanity in the 21st century, and the forecasts regarding global warming require innovative and significant steps from the business sector. The main contributing factor to global warming is greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are mostly caused by industrial and economic processes carried out by humans, and are significantly influenced by business activities in the infrastructure and energy sectors.
As part of Generation’s ESG perception, and particularly as part of managing the environmental aspect in investments (according to the responsible investment policy), Generation has started measuring and monitoring its carbon footprint in recent years.
Generation’s investments advance a significant part of the SDGs, given the variety of activities they promote in the infrastructure sector, the scope of their engagement, and the extensive geographical distribution, which includes global activity among others.
