OMNES CAPITAL 1. ABOUT OMNES AND ESG IN OUR INVESTMENTSOVERARCHING ESG PHILOSOPHYO mnes does not treat sustainabilit y as a compliance layer. ESG is understood as a structural component of sound investment practice: a lens through which risk is assessed more accurately, opportunities are identified earlier, and portfolio companies are built to be more resilient over time. The underlying proposition is clear: companies that manage their material sustainability risks well are more likely to deliver superior long-term performance and attract a broader range of buyers at exit.This philosophy is structured around three interdependent pillars: creating value by investing in the global trends of electrification, security and sovereignty, and advanced technological innovation; protecting value by integrating rigorous ESG criteria into the investment cycle to identify and manage sustainability risks in line with the firm's Sustainability Risk policy; and earning trust by operating the management company responsibly and communicating transparently with investors. Omnes considers these pillars to be mutually reinforcing: excellent returns enable greater change at scale and consistent ESG integration generates the trust that leads to new opportunities.
