Sustainability

Diversification, Profitability and Added Value

Inversiones Maslosa / Sustainability

We apply an investment strategy based on the fundamental principles of responsible conduct and economic efficiency. These principles combine two closely interconnected concepts: profitability and social responsibility. To this end, in addition to the traditional fundamental analysis of any company —based on the assessment of its financial statements, business model and strategic positioning— we also consider its performance in environmental, social and corporate governance matters. This broader and more comprehensive approach enables us to anticipate risks and identify investment opportunities.

We recognize sustainability as a means of generating positive economic, environmental and social value for both society and our portfolio companies. With a long-term value creation approach, we promote the integration of the principles of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) by incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria into our investment decision-making process.

The systematic integration of non-financial criteria into the investment decision-making process has become a global standard. In this context, we adopt a structured approach to incorporating these factors into our management practices, recognizing the contribution of sustainability to value creation across our investments, as well as its ability to mitigate environmental and social impacts. This approach supports risk reduction, enhances operational efficiency and fosters innovation.”

We promote an active and constructive relationship with the companies in which we invest, convinced that ongoing dialogue is a key tool for encouraging the adoption of sustainable business practices. In this regard, we regularly request information on their policies and initiatives related to Socially Responsible Investment (SRI), fostering greater transparency and awareness of environmental, social and corporate governance challenges.

As part of our investment assessment process, we have developed an **ESG Due Diligence Checklist**, which is applied to every investment transaction. This tool enables us to consistently evaluate the key ESG factors of our portfolio companies and identify both risks and opportunities associated with their sustainability performance.

We believe that companies that effectively integrate ESG factors into their strategy and management practices are better positioned to address current challenges and generate sustainable long-term value. Among other considerations, we place particular importance on the responsible management of environmental risks, the existence of robust and independent governance structures, the ability to attract and retain talent and the contribution made to the economic and social development of the communities in which they operate.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy, together with the initiatives developed within this framework, contributes to:

Financial analysis, aimed at assessing the financial strength, value creation potential and expected profitability of each investment.
ESG (non-financial) analysis, focused on identifying and evaluating the environmental, social and governance factors that are relevant to each company and its sector of activity.

The corporate social responsibility policy and the other instruments developed contribute to:

Encouraging entrepreneurship, job creation and innovation (ethical dimension).
Promote society’s development by supporting social entrepreneurship projects and infrastructures.
Strengthen our identity and maintain growth and profitability.
Encourage strategic objectives achievement through the efficient resources management.
Responsibly managing risks and investment opportunities.
Prevent and mitigate the possible negative impacts of our environmental activity.
