Sustainability

Real sustainability takes true commitment

We choose to be judged, not only by the profit we make, but by the enduring and positive impact that a healthy, growing, and responsible business can have on the world.

Sustainability is woven into our business processes

Axcel has a longstanding commitment to responsible investment practices. Our approach to sustainability is guided by our sustainability policy, amongst others, and overseen by our Boards, Management, and Head of Sustainability. We consider sustainability related impacts, risks, and opportunities at all stages of our investment process. Active ownership is central to our approach, and we require our companies and ourselves to report publicly on progress on sustainability in their UN Global Compact Communication on Progress reports
