Beyond Capital Partners (BCP) is very pleased to present its second Sustainability Report 2024. BCP’s investment philosophy centres on good entrepreneurship, with sustainability criteria embedded into every stage of the value creation progress of their portfolio companies.

In April 2024, BCP successfully closed its Beyond Capital Partners Fund III, which is rated as a Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) category 8+ Fund. A particular focus lies on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. In addition, the latest fund is committed to invest 20% of its capital into sustainable business models.

In an increasingly dynamic sustainability landscape, it is crucial to identify, evaluate, and act upon the issues most significant to sustainable business growth, long-term success, and the broader impact of corporate actions. In the second half of 2024, Beyond Capital Partners proactively conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) – despite the absence of a regulatory requirement – as a strategic step to advance its sustainability agenda, create long-term value, and set a leading example for its portfolio companies.
This assessment aims to identify and evaluate material impacts, risks, and opportunities from two perspectives:

• Impact materiality, which examines how the business activities of BCP and its portfolio companies affect stakeholders, the environment, and society; and
• Financial materiality, which assesses how sustainability-related factors influence the financial performance and resilience of the business.

“Our first Sustainability Report 2023 highlighted our sustainability-oriented approach at both company and portfolio level. In 2024, we are further committed to adopting and implementing the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). We ensure that our portfolio companies align with these global standards while fostering innovation, sustainable growth and long-term success. Good governance creates resilient companies and lays the foundation for sustainable value creation processes,” states Christoph D. Kauter, Managing Partner and Founder of Beyond Capital Partners.

Looking ahead, Beyond Capital Partners further contributes to continuing the success story of German small and medium-sized companies while positively impacting the environmental, social and governance challenges of our time. BCP firmly believes that economic success beyond the capital invested depends first and foremost on the trust, passion and integrity of the actors involved.
