Beyond Capital Partners (BCP) is delighted to present its first sustainability report 2023.
The sustainability report reflects the effort of BCP as a dedicated institutional investor to further develop its successful and well-defined investment strategy of the predecessor funds to be even more streamlined through Beyond Capital Partners Fund III, being classified as Article 8+ Fund under the SFDR regime. Hence, BCP’s approach is even more focussed on the aspiration to follow best-in-class sustainable, environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects.
Within the private equity sector – where capital has the potential to catalyse transformative change – the concept of responsible investment has gained significant traction.
Christoph D. Kauter, Managing Partner and founder of Beyond Capital Partners: “As part of the financial success of the funds we advise, we demand sustainable business practices as a prerequisite.”
The sustainability report highlights how BCP successfully embedded a sustainability-oriented approach at both Beyond Capital Partners and the respective portfolio companies advised. BCP is committed to continuously adopt and implement the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by actively promoting and advising its portfolio companies on sustainable initiatives and actions to further develop their ESG profile and set the basis for a resilient growth journey. Furthermore, BCP is a participant of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), an active supporter of Level 20 and a member of the German Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVK).
“Good entrepreneurship is the foundation of every successful business and ever since has been a core pillar of Beyond Capital Partners’ investment philosophy,” adds Christoph D. Kauter.
Looking towards the future development, BCP strives to further expand its positive contribution within the portfolio companies advised. BCP aims to become a role model in the private equity industry by identifying and developing future portfolio companies that share its vision of becoming national champions while positively impacting relevant environmental and social challenges.

Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen is one of the leading German forest nurseries for the cultivation of premium forest seedlings and grows many millions of seedlings annually on more than 100 hectares, on which a wide range of tree species, including sweet chestnut, oak, spruce, service tree and Douglas fir, are nursed. The forest tree nursery has been supplying municipalities, states as well as other nurseries and private forest owners since 1938 and has grown continuously in recent years. Our location in Halstenbek is the largest forest tree nursery region in Germany and is considered the “cradle of the forest” due to the fertile soil and optimal microclimatic conditions.
Forest tree nurseries are an important subgroup of tree nurseries and operate around 12% of Germany’s total tree nursery area. Overall, forest nurseries play a central role in the fight against climate change, as they are an integral part of the reforestation of German forests. At the same time, they enable companies to become more sustainable and achieve climate targets. Demand for seedlings for forestry plants has risen accordingly. The German forest relieves the atmosphere of 62 million tons of CO2 every year.
The aim is to further accelerate the impressive growth of Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen together with Beyond Capital Partners and to continue its expansion through selective acquisitions.
