DN Deutsche Nachhaltigkeit Introduces Impact Investment Process

DN Deutsche Nachhaltigkeit AG has implemented a standardized impact investment process for its portfolio. This process integrates United Nations sustainability goals and EU regulatory requirements, developed in collaboration with THE SEVENTEEN network. All existing portfolio companies have completed a double materiality analysis based on ESRS criteria. The process will also guide future investments.

The investment decisions are informed by a unique scoring model combining 40 ESG assessment criteria with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This ensures potential investments are evaluated for their societal and environmental impact, only considering those with high positive scores. The economic viability of companies is then assessed through a four-phase strategic approach.

CEO Ole Nixdorff emphasized the need for measurability in sustainability. The process, developed with external experts, aims to provide objective evaluation for investments. The ongoing analysis will influence portfolio composition, ensuring transparency and alignment with impact requirements.
