Our annual Responsible Investment Report sets out how environmental, social and governance considerations were applied across the portfolio during 2025.
The report covers our screening approach, the material issues identified for each portfolio company, progress against the targets set last year, and our own firm-level footprint.
Our approach remains practical rather than performative. For each business we identify a small number of issues that materially affect operations, customers or employees, and we measure those.
The full report is available to investors through the investor portal. A summary version is available on request from contact@officialcca.com.
