Looking Ahead
In summary, 2024 was a year of progress — marked by new partnerships, policy development, a focus on data, greater awareness and deeper integration of ESG across P Capital Partners.

2025 presents new opportunities to build on that momentum, to act on our data-driven insights and continue to drive sustainability forward, both within our firm and across our portfolio.
Lessons and priorities
2025 will also present strong opportunities for private credit, both in the sustainable transition and in building stronger European Competitiveness. The European Commission is continuously emphasizing the need of more non-dilutive capital for growth stage companies. In combination with our new M&G partnership, our scale is expected to significantly grow during the coming years, which amplifies the need for continued closed screening and emphasis on impact.

With this in mind, the following priorities will guide our focus as we scale:
Increased focus on climate action in the portfolio.

With more than 90% of total emissions arising from our portfolio as ’financed emissions‘ and approximately 50% of our portfolio companies operating in sectors classified as ‘high climate impact’, our climate action needs to be specifically directed to our portfolio. We need to continue our emphasis on climate as part of our Due Diligence but also offer portfolio support and advice to our portfolio companies.
Increased focus on diversity within the firm.

It is clear from our data that we need to prioritize a more inclusive recruitment funnel. With only 18% of total entry-level applications currently coming from women, we are building a structural problem into our organization. We need greater, targeted emphasis on widening our reach.
Integration with M&G impact and sustainability functions.

Our priorities align well with the M&G focus areas, and we look forward to integrating with M&G’s work during the coming year. Leveraging their extensive resources will enable us to further strengthen our impact and ESG analysis.
Deeping our use of Sustainability Linked Loans.

As we intend to grow in AUM and increase our deployment, our potential impact will only continue to grow. We fall just short of our target of 25% Sustainability Linked Loans (currently 21%) but will strive to reach this target during 2025.
We consider ourselves accountable for being part of building a more sustainable society and see that engaging in this is in the long-term self-interest of business. To achieve this, we encourage closer collaboration and idea exchange within the ecosystem. This is not only to inspire and learn from each other, but to identify the future joint initiatives necessary to build European competitiveness with a truly long-term mindset.
