    harm can be taken by non-profit based qualified entities (e.g. consumer organisations or independent public
    bodies);
  • Qualified entities can seek at least 2 types of measures for investor protection: injunctive and redress;
  • Penalties under the form of fines, for non-compliance with decisions issued within the representative action
    will be set out by each Member State;
  • Depending on the circumstances of the cases (e.g. interim or definitive measures to stop and prohibit a trader’s
    practice or to eliminate the continuing effects of the infringement), the qualified entities may be able to
    bring representative actions seeking different types of measures as appropriate.

 

b) For collective litigation – at country level

Introduction to Sustainability-Related Disclosures

Energy Infrastructure Partners Luxembourg S.à r.l. Sustainability disclosures 

Energy Infrastructure Partners Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“EIP Luxembourg”) is authorized to act as an alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”) within the meaning of Chapter II of the Luxembourg Law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers. 

Transparency is important to us 

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (the “SFDR”), EIP Luxembourg qualifies as a financial market participant in accordance with the SFDR and is therefore required to provide transparency with respect to the following at entity level: 

  • Article 3 SFDR – Sustainability risk policies 
  • Article 4 SFDR – Adverse sustainability impacts at entity level 
  • Article 5 SFDR – Remuneration policies in relation to the integration of sustainability risks 

Further transparency requirements apply to the managed investment funds and are included below. 

Regardless of the transparency requirements, sustainability considerations are key to EIP Luxembourg and, hence, integrated in its operations. It is EIP Luxembourg’s conviction that investors, as long-term stakeholders, benefit when investments operate their businesses responsibly. Sustainability risks or adverse sustainability impacts can not only harm the investment and its stakeholders, but also expose investments to material risks that can materialize in different ways affecting the activities and the value of the investment. 

On the other hand, robust sustainability and ESG practices can be important value drivers. 

Transparency of sustainability risk policies (Art. 3 SFDR)

As per SFDR, sustainability risks are defined as environmental, social and governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of an investment.  

EIP Luxembourg established a Sustainability Risk Policy to integrate sustainability factors and risks into its investment decision-making process. This policy also defines the management and monitoring principles of such risks to establish the necessary risk control. 

EIP Luxembourg has delegated the portfolio management function to Energy Infrastructure Partners AG which has robust in-house ESG and sustainability expertise. The delegated portfolio manager shall be responsible for the investment decision-making process and the consideration of sustainability risks. Sustainability risks deemed relevant shall be integrated within the due diligence and investment decision-making process and, subsequently, during the asset management phase in accordance with EIP Luxembourg’s Sustainability Risk Policy, which, inter alia, refers to SFDR requirements. 

EIP Luxembourg will monitor the integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision-making process as part of the due diligence and ongoing monitoring of the delegated portfolio manager and managed funds. 

Transparency of adverse sustainability impacts – No consideration of adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors at entity level (Art. 4 SFDR)

This statement describes Energy Infrastructure Partners Luxembourg S.à r.l. decision with respect to the requirements of article 4 (1) SFDR regarding the consideration of principal adverse impacts (hereinafter “PAIs”) of investment decisions on sustainability factors. 

Transparency of remuneration policies in relation to the integration of sustainability risks (Art. 5 SFDR)

EIP Luxembourg ensures that it adopts remuneration policies and procedures which are consistent with the integration of sustainability risks, to the extent sustainability risks are integrated into the investment decision-making process. 

EIP Luxembourg remuneration structures do not encourage excessive risk-taking with respect to sustainability risks and remuneration is limited to risk adjusted performance. 

Transparency of the promotion of environmental or social characteristics for EIP Luxembourg managed funds (Art. 10 SFDR)

SFDR article 8 funds managed by EIP Luxembourg promote environmental characteristics as they intend to positively contribute to energy transition, mitigate climate change and/or related environmental challenges. These funds invest in technologies and assets that support the transition to a more decarbonized future and contribute to energy security of supply.
