Responsible Investment Policy

At Yellowstone, we believe in the transformative power of responsible investment. Since 2020, as signatories of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), we have integrated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into every stage of the investment process.

Our Responsible Investment Policy guides strategic decisions aimed at maximizing positive impact and mitigating risks, thereby promoting sustainability within the sector. Through this policy, we commit to:

Integrate ESG criteria into all our decisions and throughout the entire investment cycle.

Promote transparency and accountability in the entities in which we invest.

Foster a culture of sustainability within the sector by promoting the adoption of responsible principles.

Measure and communicate the impact of our actions, ensuring tangible progress toward a more sustainable future.

Actively collaborate to strengthen the implementation of the Principles for Responsible Investment.

Sustainability Strategy

In 2024, we renewed our sustainability vision with a more ambitious and structured ESG strategy, setting a clear path toward 2030. We defined concrete commitments and specific goals across three time horizons, aligned with our lines of work and strategic pillars.

This evolution reflects our conviction to generate a positive and lasting impact, guided by four fundamental pillars that inspire each of our actions.

TRANSPARENCY AND BUSINESS ETHICS

We seek to ensure decision-making and reporting supported by rigorous ESG analysis, through verification processes and the strengthening of governance and advisory bodies.

COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT OF ESG FACTORS IN THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

We strive to ensure that investment projects integrate ESG factors and sustainable practices that generate positive environmental and social impact.

HUMAN TALENT MANAGEMENT

We work to consolidate a triple-impact culture with an inclusive work environment focused on the well-being of our team.

STRATEGIC GENERATION OF ECONOMIC VALUE

We seek to expand operations into new lines of business and regions across Latin America, prioritizing socio-environmental impact in future funds.

Responsible Investment Committee

In 2024, we took a key step toward more conscious and strategic investing by strengthening our Internal Responsible Investment Committee, integrating an independent external member for the first time. Catalina Jiménez, Regional Leader for Latin America at Développement International Desjardins (DID), joined the team, bringing expert and global insight. This strengthening also expanded the Committee’s scope, consolidating its role in:

Monitoring our ESG policy
Conducting rigorous evaluation of socio-environmental due diligence

Monitoring the performance of projects
Defining clear social and environmental goals for our funds and professional management

Environmental and Social Risk Management System

Our Environmental and Social Risk Management System (ESRMS) is a comprehensive tool that incorporates market best practices to assess ESG risks in investment opportunities and in the performance of assets. This system ensures the establishment of internal processes, policies, and capabilities that enable the identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring of the socio-environmental risks to which projects are exposed.

Yellowstone’s ESRMS is structured in 6 stages:

It establishes our strategic commitment to sustainability, guiding investment decisions toward opportunities with optimal risk profiles and strong value creation potential.

We define internal capabilities, resources, and responsibilities across each area of the Company to ensure the effective implementation of the Environmental and Social Risk Management System.

Includes: a. Screening of investment opportunities. b. Assessment of ESG risks of new partnears and investment opportunities. c. Investment decision-making that considers socio-environmental risks. d. Investment. e. Monitoring and oversight of assets..

We present annually the information and indicators of implementation and success through the Sustainability Report.

We establish direct communication channels and mechanisms with our stakeholders.

We evaluate the effectiveness of the ESRMS through success indicators and apply a continuous improvement process to identify and optimize its efficiency and effectiveness..

Sustainable Development Goals

We adopt the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a strategic framework to guide our actions toward sustainable development. Through the responsible management of the assets in our portfolio, we prioritize and promote initiatives that contribute to global objectives such as climate action, equal opportunities, biodiversity conservation, and the strengthening of communities.
