Procuritas publish its 2024 Sustainability Report – highlighting progress on DE&I, Climate and Governance
Procuritas is proud to present its 2024 Sustainability Report, which outlines our Sustainability strategy, current status, and key indicators across our portfolio.
“Sustainability is a core part of our approach to active ownership,” says Linda Leifsdotter, Head of ESG at Procuritas. “This year’s report shows both strong progress and clear areas where continued focus is needed.”
In 2024, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) and employee engagement remained top priorities. The number of portfolio companies measuring sense of belonging and inclusion rose from 50% to 72%, while those tracking employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) increased from 50% to 83%.
“It’s encouraging to see more companies incorporating employee perspectives to shape culture,” says Linda. “That shift is essential for building inclusive and engaged organisations.”
Still, gender balance is a challenge. Only 11% of companies report balance in top management, and 17% across their full workforce. Procuritas will therefore continue to maintain a strong focus on DE&I going forward.
In terms of climate action, 11% of portfolio companies have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). While no approved targets are yet in place, Procuritas has set clear ambitions: 50% of invested capital in companies with approved SBTs by 2028, and 100% by 2033.
“We’re still early in the journey, but momentum is growing,” says Linda. “Our role is to guide and support companies toward science-based climate action.”
The report also shows strong results in governance as 94% of companies have a Code of Conduct, 100% have a whistleblower function, and the share publishing a sustainability report has risen significantly since last year from 56% to 89%.
“We’re pleased to see transparency becoming the norm across our portfolio,” Linda concludes. She continues: “I am proud of the improvements we’ve made so far and in 2025, we will continue to drive progress – especially in the areas of DE&I and science-based climate targets”
