Beyond Notions

We integrate responsible investment into our investment decisions and portfolio monitoring. Our approach recognizes that the success of a company is intertwined with its responsibility toward society, the environment, and a broad set of stakeholders.
"Given the nature of Piva's investments, sustainability is core to our investment process and business success. We will continue to support our portfolio companies to incorporate relevant policies and collect material data to build a strong sustainability thesis."
