Our mission:
Responsible investing for a sustainable future
We invest responsibly, in line with the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment signed in 2015.
“We firmly believe that integrating ESG considerations into our investment strategies and operations is not only essential for long-term value creation, but also imperative to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.”
Lorenzo Stanca, Managing Partner MCP
Since 2015, MCP has been a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI), an initiative that aims to encourage financial institutions to adopt policies and strategies that take ESG implications into account, both to improve long-term financial performance and to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. Being a PRI signatory therefore means committing to these principles and publicly reporting your efforts to integrate ESG variables into investment decisions.

ESG Policy
Reporting e Performance
SFDR Disclosure
The European Regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability disclosure in the financial services sector (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation – SFDR) marks a significant step towards transparency and accountability in sustainable investments. The SFDR mandates financial institutions to provide clear and detailed disclosures about their sustainable investment practices. This enables investors to more effectively assess the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact of their financial decisions.
In compliance with the SFDR, MCP provides specific information on its approach to integrating and managing sustainability risk factors, as well as how it considers any negative sustainability impacts.
ESG in action: Case studies of sustainable companies
Waste becomes a resource through a recycling program in which used tiles are collected, crushed, and repurposed for various applications, including concrete aggregates and road construction. Following this guiding principle, many of the tile series produced contain more than 50% recycled material. Due to these and other virtuous practices, Italcer was awarded first prize among the top 100 Italian companies for outstanding achievements in addressing sustainability challenges, winning the 2022 Sustainability Award from Credit Suisse and KON.”
Formed in September 2022 through the merger of Vitella, Starmix, and Effedue, renowned companies in the bakery equipment sector, Waico anticipated the challenges its employees might face due to the relocation. To address this, the company designed a workplace that prioritizes employee comfort and introduced an advanced welfare system. As part of this initiative, every employee gains access to the TreCuori website, where they can personalize their welfare credit to suit their needs. This encompasses various options in health, education, care, leisure, and other benefits, ensuring their holistic well-being is catered to.”
Recently, the German company introduced its new ‘Balance’ line, consisting of 100% vegan skincare products. This range is meticulously formulated without Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), silicones, microplastics, or any ingredients known to be endocrine-disrupting or skin-sensitizing. With a keen eye on sustainability, Klapp prioritizes eco-friendly packaging solutions, emphasizing recycling, minimal paper usage, and optimizing production processes to reduce waste.”
