Ocean 14 Capital Sustainability Actions

Became an Article 9 fund

Ocean 14 Capital Fund I is an Article 9 Fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), with the stated objective of contributing to the top four targets of SDG14, a commitment that all the fund’s investments are sustainable investments that do no significant harm, and the application of Minimum Safeguarding Standards.

Made investments since 2022

The Fund began deploying capital later in 2022, with four investments made during that year. A further six investments were made in 2023 and four in 2024.

Set impact targets for holdings

Each portfolio company has impact targets, set at the point of investment. Attainment of these targets determines whether 30% of O14C’s carried interest is disbursed to the Fund.

Uses ESG and impact due diligence

Ocean 14 Capital has deployed a proprietary evaluation process, which integrates sustainability risks into investment decisions through full-spectrum qualitative and quantitative ESG and impact due diligence, with third party experts as required. Our Impact Committee meets in parallel with our Investment Committee and has a veto on investment decisions.

Reviewed its processes in 2024

During 2024 and early 2025, our processes were reviewed updated. The key changes included 1) a revised impact screening tool, incorporating natural capital considerations, 2) additional structured questionnaires on ESG and 3) greater formal responsibility for impact for the deal team leads and analysts, with the impact and ESG team taking a more supporting rather than executive function.

Published an ESMS

These changes have been reflected in a new ESMS (Environmental and Social Management System), which documents O14C’s full impact and ESG approach.
