Responsible investing remains an essential part of MPEP’s DNA. It is our firm belief that an active ESG policy can improve the risk-reward profile of an investment and act as a powerful tool to create value for all stakeholders.
We believe that taking into consideration of sustainability aspects helps to drive long-term value creation for our clients, employees and the society at large. The long-term nature and ownership model of the private equity asset class essentially supports this approach.
The UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is an international organization that works to promote the incorporation of ESG factors into investment decision-making. We are fully committed to the six principles and also a signatory of the UN PRI.
Level 20 is a not-for-profit organization founded with the aim of improving gender diversity in the private equity industry. We have become a sponsor of Level 20 in 2022.
It is our firm belief that there is a positive correlation between doing things the right way and generating market-leading returns. Incorporating ESG criteria into the investment process not only helps to quantify risks that might be overlooked by traditional due diligence more easily, but also increasingly provides opportunity for value creation.

Managing Director
MPEP’s remuneration policy is consistent with the integration of sustainability risks. Incentives are not provided that are expected to remain unaffected by the negative impact of any sustainability risks on long-term performance.
No consideration of adverse investment decisions on sustainability factors
MPEP funds are invested predominantly indirectly, i.e. through its target funds, in various portfolio companies around the world. Many of these portfolio companies are currently not subject to comparable transparency obligations as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2019/2088. This currently increases the difficulty in assessing the adverse impacts of investment decisions on the sustainability factors according to Article 4(1) of the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088. To this end, MPEP currently does not consider adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of the Article 4(1) of the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088.
