SCPO Capital Partners Coöperatief U.A. (the “Fund”) is a financial market participant within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (“SFDR”). The Fund does not promote environmental or social characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 SFDR, nor does it have sustainable investment as its objective under Article 9.

However, in accordance with Article 6 SFDR, the Fund considers sustainability risks as part of its investment decision-making process. A sustainability risk refers to an environmental, social or governance (ESG) event or condition that, if it occurs, could have a material negative impact on the value of an investment.

While sustainability is not a binding objective of the Fund, sustainability risks are assessed alongside traditional financial and operational risks throughout the investment process:

Screening and Initial Review: During the initial screening of investment opportunities, the Fund may consider potential ESG risks that could significantly affect the investment’s performance or valuation.
Due Diligence: As part of the due diligence process, the Fund may identify material ESG-related risks such as environmental liabilities, governance weaknesses, or social concerns. Where appropriate, these risks are factored into investment decision-making.

Ongoing Monitoring: Once an investment is made, the Fund may, where relevant, monitor material sustainability risks as part of its overall risk management framework.

This process helps ensure that sustainability risks that may impact the long-term performance of investments are duly considered.

Sustainability risks, if materialized, can adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments and overall returns. These risks vary depending on sector, geography, and specific business models and may result in lower profitability, regulatory sanctions, reputational damage, or business disruption.

Although the Fund does not systematically pursue ESG objectives, the integration of sustainability risks aims to support prudent risk management.

The assessment of sustainability risks is overseen by the Fund’s investment team, which is responsible for incorporating all relevant risks—financial and non-financial—into the investment analysis and decision-making processes.

Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector, as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time (“Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation” or “SFDR””) obligates financial market participants to provide transparency on sustainability related issues.

These issues include the consideration of principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors. This document addresses Article 4 (1) (a) of the SFDR on the consideration of principal adverse impact risks.

SCPO Capital Partners Coöperatief U.A. does not currently consider or report on the principal adverse impacts (PAIs) of investment decisions on sustainability factors at the entity level nor at the fund level. While recognizing the importance of PAIs, the decision is due to the incomplete and insufficient availability of relevant data at this level.

SCPO Capital Partners Coöperatief U.A. will review its decision not to report on PAIs annually. This position may be reconsidered if circumstances change, such as improved data availability, investor demand, or requirements from National competent authorities.

This policy outlines the approach of SCPO Capital Partners Coöperatief U.A. (the “Fund”) to remuneration in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (“SFDR”).

While the Fund does not promote environmental or social characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 SFDR, it considers sustainability risks as part of its investment risk framework. Accordingly, this remuneration policy includes a description of how such risks are (or are not) integrated into remuneration practices.

The Fund has only one employee, which is also a Fund member. Further, all individuals or companies contributing to the Fund's operations and managing the investment process, except the legal counsel, are also Fund members. Therefore, their economic participation is tied directly to the Fund's overall performance, ensuring strong alignment with investors' interests and sustainability outcomes.

Although the Fund does not pursue specific ESG objectives, material sustainability risks are considered during investment analysis and monitoring. Remuneration practices are designed to support sound and effective risk management, including the avoidance of excessive risk-taking that could have an adverse impact on the sustainability of the investments.

Remuneration is not structured in a way that encourages disregard for sustainability risks. Where relevant, members are expected to take such risks into account as part of their fiduciary duties and risk assessment.

The Fund’s Investment Committee oversees the implementation of this remuneration policy. The policy is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains consistent with the Fund’s structure, applicable regulations, and risk management principles.

This policy is published on the Fund’s website in accordance with SFDR requirements and will be updated as necessary to reflect material changes in approach or regulation.

SCPO Capital Partners Coöperatief U.A. (the “Fund”) considers sustainability risks as part of its overall investment decision-making and risk management framework.

A sustainability risk is defined as an environmental, social, or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause a material negative impact on the value of an investment.

Although the Fund does not promote environmental or social characteristics (Article 8) nor pursue sustainable investment as its objective (Article 9), sustainability risks are assessed alongside financial, legal, and operational risks during the investment analysis and due diligence process.

The Fund primarily invests through the Search Fund model, acquiring companies that are solvent but in need of transformation and growth. As part of the due diligence and post-investment monitoring process, the Fund may assess certain ESG-related factors—such as governance structures, regulatory compliance, and potential environmental or social liabilities—where these are material to the investment case.

Sustainability risks can adversely affect the Fund’s investments and financial returns. The materiality of such risks depends on the characteristics of each target company, such as sector, location, regulatory exposure, or operational practices.

While sustainability considerations do not form binding investment criteria, the Fund integrates relevant ESG risks as part of its fiduciary duty to manage overall investment risk. The Fund believes that the prudent consideration of such risks may support long-term value creation and capital preservation, but there is no guarantee that such risks will be identified or mitigated in all cases.

The Fund does not consider principal adverse impacts (PAIs) of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of Article 4(1)(b) of SFDR. Given the size and nature of the Fund, and the limited availability of data from portfolio companies, the consideration of PAIs is not currently feasible. The Fund will continue to review its position in light of regulatory developments and market practices.

Although not a product promoting ESG characteristics, the Fund may consider good governance practices—such as board structure, transparency, and compliance policies—where relevant and material to the investment’s risk profile. These aspects may be addressed through active ownership and participation in the governance of investee companies.

The Fund does not use a sustainability-related benchmark for the purpose of measuring the performance of the product.
