Our Sustainability & ESG Philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

At Aurora Growth Capital (AGC), we are committed to integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors across all stages of our investment process. We believe that these factors are essential drivers of long-term value and risk management. Our approach is based on the belief that responsible investment is key to enhancing performance and fostering sustainable growth.
\nSince our inception in 2017 until 2025, AGC was part of the Neuberger Berman Group (NB). Under NB\u2019s guidance, the investment team of AGC\u2019s investment strategy and the ESG Team have acquired, over the years, skills and knowledge in sustainability and ESG principles with a solid commitment to financial performance and responsible investing.
\nAurora Growth Capital Sustainability & ESG strategy encompasses a disciplined integration of ESG considerations throughout the investment lifecycle, from sourcing to exit. We focus on aligning our investments with sustainable practices, aiming to drive positive changes and create value for all stakeholders. We believe we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to advance our ESG efforts and foster best practices across the business community through active ownership.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Aurora Growth Capital Proprietary Responsible Investment Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

As part of the AIFM, we meticulously integrate a responsible investment approach across every stage of the investment cycle. This approach is detailed during two pivotal phases: (i) the pre-investment phase, which encompasses the sourcing, comprehensive due diligence, and execution of investment decisions, and (ii) the post-investment phase, which begins once the transaction concludes, covering the onboarding, active ownership, and exit stages. Our methodical approach to responsible investment is underscored by the integration of ESG factors within each critical phase, as illustrated in the figure below:<\/p>\n

Aurora Growth Capital main fund has commenced its transition<\/b> toward Article 8 classification under the SFDR Regulation,<\/b> strengthening the integration of ESG factors<\/b> in investment decisions.<\/b> The process is expected to be completed by 2026.<\/b><\/div>\n
