Introduction / Our responsible investment journey
Our responsible investment journey
Our responsible investment journey, set out in 2012, is one of continuous improvement, reflecting our dedication to consistent progress.
As a responsible investor, Forbion is committed to maintaining high standards and delivering on promises made to investors, as described in our Policy for Responsible Investments.
In 2025, we continued to strengthen our approach to impact and ESG, deepening integration across our investment platform while improving transparency, data quality and engagement with our portfolio companies and investors.
