Responsible Investing · ESG

Responsible capital is the only capital worth deploying.

Responsible investing is not a separate workstream at Panthera — it is embedded into how we source, underwrite, structure and steward every mandate, from off-market acquisitions to project finance and bridge lending across Europe and the GCC.

Environmental

Decarbonising the European built environment

Real estate accounts for roughly 40% of European CO2 emissions. We prioritise assets and sponsors with credible decarbonisation pathways — EU Taxonomy alignment, manage-to-green capex plans, and energy performance upgrades as part of every business plan.

Social

Housing, communities, and long-term value

We back residential, mixed-use and infrastructure-adjacent strategies that deliver liveable space, fair tenant treatment and durable community impact. We screen out sponsors and counterparties whose practices conflict with our standards.

Governance

Owner-managed discipline and full transparency

As an owner-managed firm, governance is not delegated. KYC, AML, sanctions screening and source-of-funds verification are non-negotiable on every mandate — for our investors, our financing partners, and ourselves.

Frameworks & Standards

Aligned with the standards European institutional capital expects.

SFDR aware

Mandates structured with reference to EU SFDR Article 6 / 8 disclosure requirements where applicable.

EU Taxonomy

Capex and refurbishment plans benchmarked against EU Taxonomy technical screening criteria.

UN PRI aligned

Investment process aligned with the principles of the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment.

Exclusions

We do not advise on or finance assets or sponsors involved in coal, controversial weapons, or sanctioned jurisdictions.

Our responsible investing framework is reviewed annually by the partners and adapted as European regulation and investor expectations evolve.
