Sustainability in the compensation scheme

Revaia’s remuneration policy aims to align the interests of all employees with those of its stakeholders and to empower all employees to collectively create sustainable value. Employee remuneration is a combination of fixed and variable pay. In accordance with the Disclosure Regulation, the Company has defined the expectations of all team members and included E, S and G characteristics in their responsibilities and, consequently, in the definition of their compensation. Sustainable targets are set individually and are linked to the implementation of the sustainable investment process and/or sustainable criteria at the Management Company level and at the Portfolio Companies’ level.

Driving Sustainable Investment and Shareholding

Responsible investing

Revaia was created to finance companies that contribute to the transformation of our economy towards more sustainable models and business practices.

As a result, our work is focused on identifying the players that innovate in terms of business practices through sustainable behaviours and by identifying solutions that create positive impacts.

We thus defined an investment process that allows us identify those players and support them in their sustainable journey.

Responsible shareholder

We believe that companies that contribute positively and address societal and environmental challenges will benefit by creating value in the long term. So, we invest in companies that take sustainability seriously. Not only do we incorporate ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) activities into our investment process, we work with our portfolio companies to help them to grow sustainably and lead by example too.

We have designed a cyclical approach enabling annual assessment of ESG performance and the formulation of improvement roadmaps tailored to each company's defined purpose.

We have crafted an in-house toolbox tailored for our portfolio companies: a comprehensive, step-by-step ESG and Impact coaching guide. This resource empowers both ESG and non-ESG teams to navigate the initial and subsequent stages of ESG strategy implementation, fostering enhanced sustainability performance across the board.
