Sustainability
Sustainability
We are a PRI signatory with SFDR Article 8 compliant funds. Responsible investment is embedded in our process from the outset — informing how we screen opportunities, engage with management and build businesses positioned to create value over the long term.
We believe that governance, operational responsibility and sustainable performance are inseparable. The businesses we back reflect that conviction.
Our Process
We conduct thorough ESG due diligence alongside financial and operational assessment. Legal, environmental and governance risks are identified and evaluated. Where required, external specialists are engaged.
We work with management to embed sustainability practices, improve governance, enrich team diversity and drive operational improvements aligned with ESG objectives.
A well-managed ESG profile reduces risk, broadens the buyer universe and supports a cleaner, higher-value exit.
Our Commitments
Committed to incorporating ESG into investment analysis and decision-making across our portfolio.
Our funds promote environmental and social characteristics in line with EU sustainable finance regulation.
We actively promote diversity at board and management level across all portfolio companies.
Regulatory Disclosures
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability‑related disclosures in the financial services sector.
Vibe Capital Partners integrates sustainability risks into its investment decision‑making processes across all funds it manages. Sustainability risks are understood as environmental, social or governance events or conditions which, if they occur, could cause an actual or potential material negative impact on the value of an investment. These risks are identified and assessed as part of the investment analysis and are considered alongside financial and operational risks by the Investment Committee. Where sustainability risks are deemed material and cannot be adequately mitigated, we may decide not to proceed with an investment.
As a small alternative investment fund manager with fewer than 500 employees, Vibe Capital Partners is not required under Article 4 SFDR to publish a statement on due diligence policies with respect to principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors. At this stage, Vibe has therefore decided not to consider principal adverse impacts on a mandatory and exhaustive basis at entity level given the Fund's early stage and absence of portfolio investments. This position will be reviewed as the Fund deploys capital.
Vibe Capital Partners' remuneration framework is designed to support sound and effective risk management, including the management of sustainability risks. Variable remuneration is assessed taking into account both financial and non‑financial performance, and must not encourage excessive risk‑taking with respect to ESG and other risks.
Vibe Capital I, Fundo de Capital de Risco Fechado (“Vibe Capital I” or the “Fund”) is classified as a financial product that promotes environmental and/or social characteristics in accordance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, “SFDR”). The Fund does not have sustainable investment as its primary objective under Article 9 SFDR. Further details are provided in the Fund's SFDR pre‑contractual disclosure (Annex II), available here.
