HBM Partners’ investment strategy is aligned with sustainability goals

Investments in the healthcare sector are compatible with key sustainability goals and provide attractive long-term value creation potential.

By funnelling funds to companies in the healthcare sector, HBM Partners provides vital liquidity to a key industry. HBM Partners generally seeks investments in development stage companies, which are often exclusively engaged in R&D and do not have products on the market. As a result, many portfolio companies are young firms based on innovation and entrepreneurship that are developing groundbreaking therapies with the potential to improve the health and well-being of people around the globe. Carbon emissions and the use of natural resources of such companies are typically low and their impact on the environment is limited. At the same time, many of these companies have a positive impact on society by creating attractive jobs with a dynamic and modern working environment with equal rights and opportunities for their employees.

ESG investing applies non-financial Environmental, Social and Governance factors to evaluate companies and countries on their sustainability standing. SDG is a newer sustainability scoring concept initiated in 2015, which has been driven by the Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) in the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).
