firmly believe that a prosperous society is closely linked to a strong and sustainable economy. At E3, we are active entrepreneurs and help medium-sized companies achieve long-term sustainable growth. Our vision of cooperating closely with those who shape our economy and the positive, entrepreneurial culture lived at E3 motivate me to give my best every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there an ESG initiative that you find inspiring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andr\u00e9s Gevert: <\/strong>I think that the three letters of ESG are inextricably linked and should be seen as a holistic concept, meaning that they all should be taken into account, each with a specific weighting depending on the company and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I find SDG 4 \u201cQuality Education\u201d of the UN\u2019s 2030 Agenda very inspiring because it is about building a society that meets the challenges of our time based on knowledge and rational thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does \u201csustainable investing\u201d mean to you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andr\u00e9s Gevert: <\/strong>The definition of sustainable investing in Alex Edam\u2019s book \u201cGrow the Pie\u201d provides a valuable perspective in my eyes. A company\u2019s fundamental job is to use its funds efficiently, offer society high-quality products and services, and have a positive impact. That does not just mean systematically generating a high return on invested capital for the company\u2019s shareholders, but rather \u201cgrowing the pie\u201d to include all stakeholders (customers, suppliers, employees, the environment, etc.). The good thing is that this also directly benefits the enterprise value by making the business model more robust, resilient and harder to copy, so it provides a true competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"tag-list-container pt-3\"><div class=\"tag-list\"><p class=\"mb-1 small\">Related topics<\/p><ul class=\"tag-list small\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/tag\/andres-gevert-en\/\" rel=\"tag\">Andr\u00e9s Gevert<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/tag\/e3-team-en\/\" rel=\"tag\">E3 team<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/tag\/esg-en\/\" rel=\"tag\">ESG<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/tag\/sustainable-investing\/\" rel=\"tag\">Sustainable investing<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We put three questions to our newest investment team member, Andr\u00e9s Gevert.","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":4443,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[131,71,41,70],"class_list":["post-4627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insights","tag-andres-gevert-en","tag-e3-team-en","tag-esg-en","tag-sustainable-investing"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4627"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4629,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4627\/revisions\/4629"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
