Our ESG approach
During 2023, CEECAT Capital has further developed and enhanced its ESG Policy to align with SFDR regulation. For CCL CEECAT Fund II SCSp (”CEECAT II” and/or “the Fund”), CEECAT Capital has taken a further step and enhanced its accountability and dedication to sustainable growth by classifying this product as Article 8.
Building on the ESG framework established for CEECAT Fund II, CEECAT Capital Fund III SCSp (“CEECAT Fund III”) was also classified as an Article 8 financial product in 2026. ESG considerations are embedded throughout the investment lifecycle of both funds, including investment screening, due diligence, investment decision-making, active ownership, monitoring, and exit.
CEECAT Fund II and CEECAT Fund III follow a two-level ESG strategy designed to promote common environmental and social characteristics across all investments, while also establishing company- and sector-specific objectives. The strategy sets portfolio-level priorities and translates them into tailored targets that reflect the sector, operating environment, and specific circumstances of each portfolio company.
