SBAI Disclosure

No responsibility, duty of care or liability whatsoever (whether in contract or tort or otherwise including, but not limited to, negligence) is or will be accepted by the Standards Board for Alternative Investments Limited ("SBAI"), the Board of Trustees of the SBAI, any member of the SBAI's Investor Chapter (each an "Investor Chapter Member")  or a Core Supporter of the SBAI to Signatories, investors or any other person in connection with the Standards or any Conformity Statement or Disclosure Statement made by any Signatory. A Core Supporter can be a Signatory to the Standards, a member of the SBAI’s Investor Chapter or an investment consultant.

Neither the SBAI nor its Board of Trustees is a regulator of the alternative investment industry and their role does not extend beyond being a custodian of the Standards. None of the SBAI, its Board of Trustees, the Investor Chapter Members and the Core Supporters will seek to enforce compliance with the Standards by Signatories. The fact that a manager is a Signatory to the Standards is not and should not be taken as an endorsement of such manager by the SBAI, the Board of Trustees, any Investor Chapter Member or any Core Supporter or as a representation by the SBAI, the Board of Trustees, any Investor Chapter Member or any other Core Supporter that such Signatory operates in conformity with the Standards. In determining whether to accept a manager's application to become a Signatory (or whether to revoke a manager's status as a signatory), the Board of Trustees is entitled to rely on the information provided to it by such manager without further investigation or verification. Further, subject to any duties a Trustee may have under applicable law, it is not envisaged, or expected, that a Trustee will when participating in any such decision of the Board of Trustees take into consideration information which it may possess otherwise than in its capacity as a Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, Trustees act as individuals.

None of the SBAI, the Board of Trustees of the SBAI, the Investor Chapter Members and the other Core Supporters accept any responsibility or liability for any loss or damage caused to any person who acts or refrains from acting as a result of anything contained in or omitted from the Standards or any Conformity Statement or Disclosure Statement made by any Signatory or in reliance on the provisions of or material in the Standards or any Conformity Statement or Disclosure Statement made by any Signatory, whether such loss or damage is caused by negligence or otherwise.

Commitment to the UK Stewardship Code

Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Amber Capital UK LLP (“Amber”) is required to disclose in an accessible form a statement about the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code (the “Code”) or, where it does not commit to the Code, its alternative investment strategy. The Code is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers. Investors that commit to the Code can either comply with it in full or choose not to comply with aspects of the Code, in which case they are required to explain their non compliance.

Amber pursues a multi-strategy approach to investing that, among other matters, involves it trading in global equities, including some UK equities. The Code is therefore relevant to some aspects of Amber’s trading. While Amber generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, Amber has chosen not to commit to the Code. Amber invests in a variety of asset classes and in a variety of jurisdictions globally. Amber’s policies in relation to engagement with issuers and their management are determined globally on group-wide basis. The group takes a global approach to engagement with issuers and their management in all of the jurisdictions in which it trades and, consequently, Amber does not consider it appropriate to commit to any particular voluntary code of practice relating to any individual jurisdiction.

Shareholder Rights Directive

Amber Capital UK LLP is currently considering whether it will adopt an engagement policy pursuant to Article 3g of the amended EU Shareholder Rights Directive (Directive 2007/36/EC). When that decision has been made, this webpage will be updated accordingly.

Value serves as a central pillar to Amber Capital’s strategies, as the Investment Team seeks to identify catalysts that create long-term change, often with a specific focus on corporate governance. Amber Capital’s significant understanding of sector dynamics in Europe, along with its constructive collaboration with management teams and boards, work together in pursuit of unlocking value for shareholders.

Amber Capital encourages all listed companies to publicly recognize the urgency of acting on climate by taking a fair share of responsibility in the transition to a net zero carbon economy.

Climate

Amber Capital strives to minimise its own direct environmental impact and we are proud to be a carbon neutral firm. We have partnered with Carbon Footprint to assess Amber Capital's own carbon footprint and make recommendations to reduce it to zero over time.

Companies should provide clear disclosure on their starting point (Carbon footprint) and on the most suitable and effective Action Plan to which they can commit in order to achieve the common destination (Net Zero transition).

— Camilio Azzouz

Amber Capital encourages all listed companies to publicly recognize the urgency of acting on climate by taking a fair share of responsibility in the transition to a net zero carbon economy.

We are convinced that all market participants need to implement appropriate measures to manage climate risks and therefore stimulate companies to disclose a clear strategy for reducing their carbon footprint and to submit their Climate Transition Action Plan to shareholders' vote. Periodic reporting on the implementation of the Plan should also submitted to vote.

Amber Capital is a signatory of the Carbon Disclosure Project CDP (https://www.cdp.net/en), a non-profit organization that promotes transparency and awareness on environmental impacts at the investors, companies, public authorities and territorial entities level.

Amber Capital supports the Say on Climate initiative (https://www.sayonclimate.org/) and is willing to work with companies to manage their GHG emissions. This enables engagement on the most appropriate and effective disclosure identifying the initiatives to be taken which may consist of supporting and/or filing AGM resolutions as and when required for disclosure purposes.

Amber Capital’s Carbon footprint

At Amber Capital, we are committed to sustainability. In recent years, we have actively measured, monitored, and analyzed our carbon footprint to reduce operational emissions and play our part in the global transition to a low-carbon economy

Initially, the scope of consideration has been focused on emissions associated with direct operational emissions, including electricity and energy consumption at the offices of the organization and the emissions associated with business flights.

In 2023, we expanded our analysis to include additional modes of transport and conducted a detailed assessment of emissions associated with the portfolios managed by the asset management companies (so called “financed emissions”).  

For the period 2019–2022, Amber Capital partnered with CarbonSink to offset residual CO₂ emissions through global projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  

In 2023, Amber Capital partnered with Carbon Footprint Ltd. to validate its CO₂ emissions calculations, explore potential extensions to the scope of analysis, and offset remaining emissions through an identified project.
