Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)

Hanover Investors has formulated a Responsible Investment Policy which details the extent of integration of sustainability risks in its investment decision-making process. It recognises environmental, social and governance factors (“ESG”) are critical contributors to creating long-term value, driving competitiveness, and mitigating risks throughout the deal sourcing process, ownership and exit period. All material risks that have been identified (including sustainability risks) are considered as part of the financial analysis. However sustainability risks are not the primary focus of the products offered by Hanover. The Company, at its discretion, actively engages with its clients about specific activities and / or industries in order to consider whether they can be excluded from such investments on an on-going basis. In such cases, the Company undertakes to identify such investments, liaise with those clients/investors and agree a suitable approach with them.

Hanover does not currently manage any funds as referred to in Article 8(1) and Article 9(1), (2) and (3) of the SFDR.
