IDI’s 2023 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". 


Bilan carbone

  • In 2023, IDI's carbon footprint was assessed based on 2022 data, providing an in-depth analysis of our overall carbon footprint. This assessment includes a comparison with our peers, the distribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by scope and category, and customized impact scenarios for decarbonization. 
     
  • Most of our holdings also completed their carbon footprint assessments in 2023 or are in the final stages.

This approach underscores our increasing dedication to sustainable management practices and plays a role in enhancing the long-term valuation of our holdings. 


Workplace Quality of Life Survey:

  • IDI conducted a workplace quality of life survey among its employees. 
  • With a 100% participation rate, the results of this survey highlight the satisfaction of IDI employees and serve as a compass for ongoing enhancements to working conditions.
