Responsible Investment Report 2024
Via Bregal’s impact investing platform Bregal Sphere, we are currently pursuing opportunities in the natural capital space – seeking to invest in nature-based solutions which combine financial returns with positive impact outcomes for climate, nature, and livelihoods.
We additionally adapted our Climate and Nature Action Plan in 2024, on a strategy-by-strategy basis, to identify climate and nature risks in our portfolio and opportunities to deploy nature-positive business models and enhance company value.
The cornerstone of our action plan continues to be the commitment to align our operational and financed emissions with 1.5-degree Celsius pathway by 2030 and net zero by 2050. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made across all five pillars of our action plan this past year.
