IDI’s 2024 ESG achievements 

Reporting ESG

  • All of our holdings have completed ESG reporting. 

This demonstrates the dedication and commitment of our holdings to transparency and communication on environmental, social, and governance issues. It also highlights our portfolio's ability to meet ESG reporting standards, thereby promoting responsible and sustainable management of our investments.

With this achievement, IDI fully aligns with the objectives defined by the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), particularly in the implementation of principles 3 and 6 related to "disclosing relevant information on ESG aspects of holdings" and "formalizing activities and advancements". 


Carbon Footprint

  • In 2024, Idi continued its climate trajectory by preparing for the carbon footprint assessment scheduled for 2025 (based on 2024 data), following the assessment conducted in 2023 (based on 2022 data).
  • Some portfolio companies also carried out their own carbon footprint assessments in 2024, notably Natural Grass and Ekosport, based on their 2023 data.


Workplace Quality of Life Survey

In 2024 IDI renewed its annual quality of work survey. The participation rate reached 100%, demonstrating the strong engagement of employees. 

The results helped identify several areas for improvement, particularly in terms of internal communication, managerial kindness, and team organization. These insights feed into our HR policy to ensurea fulfilliing, collaborative, and sustainable working environment.
