SFDR Disclosures
Since our founding, promoting responsible investments has been integral to Incofin´s identity. We have diligently constructed ESG and impact processes, tools, and reporting mechanisms to uphold the authenticity of our impact mission.
We therefore embrace the European regulation on the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which mandates transparency and accountability in the sustainable investment market. We firmly believe that this regulation plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the industry against greenwashing practices.
We are committed to actively reporting on SFDR as required. We also continuously shape how these regulations take form and can be used for impact in the future.
In line with the regulation, we apply a double materiality perspective in our investment process. Concretely, this means that we assess both how sustainability risk impacts the financial performance of our investments (financial materiality), but also how our investment decisions may adversely affect environmental and social factors (impact materiality). This dual lens encapsulates our commitment to responsible and sustainable investing.
Sustainability Risk Policy
Sustainability risks are integrated into our investment decision-making processes in accordance with Article 3 of the SFDR. Our Sustainability Risk Policy outlines the approach we take to identify, assess and manage environmental, social and governance (ESG) events or conditions that, if they occur, could have a material negative impact on the value of an investment. At Incofin IM, we systematically consider sustainability risks (or outside-in risks) in all investment decisions.
The full policy is available here.
Principal Adverse Impact Statement
Incofin IM considers principal adverse impacts (or inside-out risks) of our investment decisions on sustainability factors in accordance with Article 4 of SFDR. This follows a ‘do no significant harm principle’. We apply the mandatory indicators set out in Annex 1 of the SFDR Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS), including greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, water emissions, waste, social violations and governance issues, for all our Funds. In addition, we have selected supplementary indicators relevant to our investment strategy and stakeholder priorities

Remuneration Policy
Our Remuneration Policy is aligned with our sustainability risk policy and in accordance with Article 5 of the SFDR. The Remuneration Policy has been designed to ensure employees are rewarded for behaviour that upholds a culture aligned with the interests of our clients and shareholders, and specifically to encourage responsible behaviour that supports long-term sustainability, ESG and impact goals.
Two key aspects of the Remuneration policy that reflects the sustainability principle are:
- Variable components are modest relative to the fixed remuneration as to not create an adverse incentive;
- Part of all staff’s performance-based remuneration depends on achievements of sustainability, ESG and impact goals, as set and agreed between employees and direct managers at the start of the year.
