Responsible Investment
At Nauta we believe our firm must be guided by values of excellence, rigour and honesty that define our ways of working and interacting with our stakeholders. Responsible investing is a consequence of those values and is inherently part of our firm’s culture.
Nauta’s Responsible Investment practices are rooted in the principles recognised by the United Nations Global Compact, concerning human rights, labour rights, environment protection, and anti-corruption mechanisms. We commit to act in line with these values and the primary international agreements agreed by the bodies of the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, and the OECD.
Those principles of the UN Global Compact inspire our Responsible Investment Policy and our code of conduct, which includes our conflict-of-interest policy.
As responsible investors, we strive to follow the best practices when we invest. We have affirmed our allegiance to responsible investment by signing the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment ("UN PRI").
As signatories of the UN PRI, we embrace the following principles:
- Incorporate ESG aspects in the analysis and investment decision-making processes.
- Influence our investees to report on ESG aspects that are relevant to them, wherever possible.
- Promote acceptance and application of the Principles among the venture investment industry.
- Work with other signatories to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of the Principles.
- Report our activities and progress in implementing the Principles.
By promoting and actively managing ESG topics such as Diversity and Inclusion, Ethics and Compliance, Talent Attraction, and Security we contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
More information on our beliefs, guiding principals, how we integrate ESG in our investment process and reporting can be found in our Responsible Investment Policy.
