We are pleased to announce the realisation of Cinven’s investment in Arcaplanet, a leading Italian pet care retailer, acquired by its strategic partner Fressnapf Holding SE, while concurrently making a new strategic investment in Fressnapf Group, a leading European pet supplies business. Together, we share the common goal of creating one of the best and fastest growing omnichannel pet care platforms globally.

Cinven is pleased to release its 2024 Sustainability Report, outlining Cinven’s sustainability approach, strategy, and the sustainability performance of Cinven and the Cinven Funds’ portfolios. The last 18 months have seen significant progress for Cinven as we continued to evolve our approach to sustainability, having initially formalised it in 2009 when we became a signatory to the PRI. In 2023, Cinven’s ambitious Science Based Targets (SBT) were approved by the SBTi and we achieved our firm-level gender diversity targets. Having met our 2023 targets in this area, we have since set new Inclusion & Diversity targets for 2024-6. The Sustainability Report includes Cinven’s third climate report, aligned with the guidance set out by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and Cinven Limited’s FCA TCFD entity report. These outline the recent progress made on Cinven’s climate approach, including a refreshed climate scenario analysis and inaugural disclosure of financed emissions.
