The MCI Capital ASI S.A. Group takes into account the principal adverse impacts (PAIs) of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
The presented PAI indicators cover the period from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and are based on survey data collected from 7 portfolio companies of the MCI.EuroVentures 1.0. and MCI.TechVentures 1.0. subfunds, separated within MCI.PrivateVentures FIZ. These companies together represent approximately 70% of the total investment portfolio and about 63% of the fund’s net asset value as of December 31, 2024.
01
Climate and Environment
The data illustrate the impact of portfolio companies’ activities on the climate and environment – particularly in areas related to greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water resources and waste management.
These indicators help assess the scale and nature of the funds’ investment impact on the climate and natural environment.
02
Community and Employees
The data illustrate the impact of portfolio companies’ activities on social and employee matters, respect for human rights and the prevention of corruption and bribery.
These indicators help assess the extent to which investment activities support responsible business practices and ethical standards.

- Emissions resulting from electricity and heat consumption (Scope 2) remain at a moderate level.
- The vast majority of emissions (95% of total emissions) fall under Scope 3 – mainly from supply chains and product use by customers – representing the largest share of the carbon footprint.
