  1. Millennia’s ESG Policy

The P2P Lending Fund (the “Sub-Fund”), a sub-fund of Millennia SICAV RAIF, falls under Article 6 of the SFDR as it does not consider the EU criteria for ESG investing. Nevertheless, it enacted an ESG Policy in March 2021 directing ESG procedures on a best effort basis in the investment decision process. The Sub-Fund’s strategy is built around minimum impacts that shall be, on a best effort basis, part of the investment decision in terms of E (environment), S (social responsibility) and G (Governance), that articulates as follows:

The Sub-Fund’s strategy is built around minimum impacts that shall be, on a best effort basis, part of the investment decision in terms of E (environment), S (social responsibility) and G (Governance), that articulates as follows:

E (Environment):

The Sub-Fund aims to contribute to a positive impact by:

  • Limiting office space to Luxembourg only, while operations spam from London to Geneva (remotely) and Luxembourg
  • Preferring video conferencing and calls over physical meetings that entail flights
  • Preferring public transportation and train over individual car rides
  • Limiting printing paper to situations where electronic document cannot be used
  • Work with counterparties that essentially run online-based business having a lighter carbon footprint than traditional brick-and-mortar businesses

S (Social Responsibility):

In terms of socially responsible lending, the Sub-Fund adheres to the following principles:

  • Follow Fair Lending Practices
  • Promote and facilitate debt consolidation, deleveraging and personal credit score enhancements
  • Adhere to fair and transparent interest charges
  • Work with lenders that are not engaged in the financing harmful businesses

G (Governance);

The Sub-Fund partners only with lenders that adhere to the below minimum standards:

  • Have sound Corporate Governance and oversight
  • Align their interest with investors’ interests
  • Promote diversity and do not discriminate

Sustainability Risks refers to an ESG event, or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment.

It should be noted that while Sustainability Risks are considered systematically no one aspect would prevent the Investment Manager from making any investment as investment decisions remain discretionary within the investment objectives of the Sub-Fund.

The manner in which ESG Procedures are integrated into the investment decisions of the Sub-Fund are  set out in the respective Special Section of the Offering Memorandum.

  • ESG signifie Environnemental (E), social (S) et/ou gouvernance (G).

  1. La politique ESG de Millennia

 

Le P2P Lending Fund (le « Compartiment »), un compartiment de Millennia SICAV RAIF, a adopté une politique ESG2 en mars 2021 orientant ses procédures ESG dans le processus de décision d’investissement.

La stratégie du Compartiment s’articule autour d’impacts minimaux qui doivent, dans la mesure du possible, faire partie de la décision d’investissement en termes de E (environnement), S (responsabilité sociale) et G (Gouvernance), qui s’articule comme suit :

 

E (Environnement) :

  • Le Compartiment vise à contribuer à un impact positif en :
  • Limitation des espaces de bureaux au Luxembourg uniquement, tandis que les opérations spam de Londres vers Genève (à distance) et Luxembourg
  • Préférer les visioconférences et les appels aux réunions physiques impliquant des vols
  • Préférer les transports en commun et le train aux trajets individuels en voiture
  • Limiter le papier d’impression aux situations où le document électronique ne peut pas être utilisé
  • Travaillez avec des contreparties qui gèrent essentiellement des activités en ligne, ayant une empreinte carbone plus légère que les entreprises traditionnelles de brique et de mortier

 

S (Responsabilité Sociale) :

  • En termes de prêt socialement responsable, le Compartiment adhère aux principes suivants :
  • Suivre des pratiques de prêt équitables
  • Promouvoir et faciliter la consolidation de dettes, le désendettement et l’amélioration de la cote de crédit personnelle
  • Adhérer à des frais d’intérêt justes et transparents
  • S’associe avec des prêteurs qui ne sont pas engagés dans le financement d’entreprises nuisibles

 

G (Gouvernance) ;

  • Le Compartiment s’associe uniquement avec des prêteurs qui adhèrent aux normes minimales ci-dessous :
  • Avoir une bonne gouvernance d’entreprise et une surveillance
  • Aligner leurs intérêts sur ceux des investisseurs
  • Promouvoir la diversité et ne pas discriminer

 

Les risques de soutenabilité font référence à un événement ou à une condition ESG qui, s’il se produit, pourrait avoir un impact négatif réel ou potentiel sur la valeur de l’investissement.

Il convient de noter que, bien que les risques de durabilité soient systématiquement pris en compte, aucun aspect n’empêcherait le Gestionnaire d’investissement d’effectuer un investissement car les décisions d’investissement restent discrétionnaires dans le cadre des objectifs d’investissement du Compartiment.

La manière dont les Procédures ESG sont intégrées dans les décisions d’investissement du Compartiment est décrite dans la Section spéciale respective de la Notice d’offre.
