Sustainability
Healthcare Investments are Sustainable and Provide Attractive Long-term Value Creation Potential.
ESG/SDG
In terms of sustainability, HBM follows the principles and goals of ESG and SDG.
ESG means that environmental, social and governance factors are used to evaluate companies in the area of sustainability.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were defined by the United Nations to promote the well-being of the environment and the population.
HBMs strategy is by its very nature optimally aligned with the goals of ESG and SDG
By investing solely in companies within the healthcare sector, HBM specifically provides funds to innovative young firms developing groundbreaking therapies that have the potential to improve the health and wellbeing of people around the globe. HBM generally invests in development stage companies, which are often exclusively engaged in R&D, as many of them do not have products on the market. Carbon emissions and the use of natural resources are typically low. Accordingly, their negative impact on the environment is limited. On the other hand, such firms have a positive impact on society by creating jobs and providing a dynamic and modern working environment with equal rights and opportunities for their employees.
HBM Healthcare Investments is advised by HBM Partners AG. HBM Partners AG’s ESG / SDG Guidelines will be applied by HBM Healthcare Investments.
