Commitment and Values:
From the outset, XAnge has been deeply committed to responsible investing, anchored in our foundational values. We understand the profound importance of weaving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into our investment decisions. This dedication is not just symbolic; it is embedded in our charter, highlighting the central role of ESG criteria throughout our investment journey and in the continuous monitoring of our assets. Our B Corp certification is a testament to our unwavering adherence to these values.
As investors, we recognize our unique position in the ecosystem:
- We possess the power to accelerate and, with this power, comes the responsibility to ensure the positive impact of the companies we finance in both the short and long term.
- We have the power to guide. Being part of the board of the companies we finance, we are in an optimal position to encourage them to enhance their responsible initiatives.
- We bear the duty of exemplarity as we are interdependent. Our ESG impact is a culmination of the practices of our investments, in addition to our suppliers, akin to a traditional company.
