Hollands Team integrates environmental, social, and governance considerations into its investment assessment process. While our primary investment focus is on enterprise technology companies in the pre-IPO stage, we recognise that ESG factors are increasingly relevant to long-term value creation and risk management in this sector.
We prioritise companies with experienced, accountable leadership, transparent reporting practices, and appropriate internal controls. We regard governance quality as one of the most reliable predictors of long-term investment performance.
We consider workforce practices, employee retention, diversity at the leadership level, and the social utility of the products and services provided by companies we evaluate. We do not invest in companies whose primary activities are harmful to communities or individuals.
We assess the environmental impact of portfolio companies' operations and their exposure to climate-related regulatory and physical risks. We support companies that demonstrate responsible resource use and a considered approach to their environmental footprint.
We will not knowingly invest in companies whose primary business involves the production of weapons, tobacco, or activities that cause material environmental harm.
Our ESG policy is reviewed annually by the principal of Hollands Team and incorporated into investment decision-making on an ongoing basis.
