FOREWORD BY THE CSR-ESG TEAM
The current energy and climate crisis casts a sharper light than ever before on environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns. We are witnessing an accelerated adoption of sustainable development practices, and the search for positive impact is becoming a top priority.
This acceleration is being driven by a new European regulatory framework, notably the European Sustainable Finance Regulation (ESFR) and the Green Taxonomy. At RGREEN INVEST, we are excited to see that sustainability initiatives in which we have participated for years are gaining traction.
Since its inception, RGREEN INVEST’s goal has been to promote the energy transition, climate change mitigation and adaptation. We operate in a dynamic ecosystem that aims to create a positive environmental impact. Our action is directly aligned with the IPCC recommendations (IPCC April 2022) in the fight against the 59 Giga Tons of CO2 emitted by human societies per year, in order to keep global warming below 2° Celsius by 2100. Our investments cover technologies that are all recognized by the IPCC as participating in mitigation of or adaptation to climate change.
That said, we recognize that our investment activities can also have potentially negative effects on the environment, biodiversity, and/or local communities. Because our primary mission is to have a positive impact, we have taken action to prevent these adverse effects.
