The past few years have marked a clear shift towards linking sustainability to value creation. In our latest sustainability report, we share real examples of that value showing up across our portfolio. Sustainability contributes to value preservation and creation across the portfolio through several key drivers—spanning risk and cost reduction, revenue protection and growth, brand enhancement and exit readiness. Across our Flagship portfolio, nearly 50% of portfolio companies now face sustainability requirements which are supporting them to win or retain business. Approximately €600m of revenue across the portfolio in 2025 was linked to customers with sustainability requirements. In 2025, Permira developed a Sustainability Value Creation Playbook: a sector-specific toolkit translating sustainability priorities into commercial metrics and actionable levers for portfolio companies. We also launched a tool to help management teams quantify revenue tied to sustainability-linked contract requirements, making the commercial case for action easier to build. As customer expectations keep rising, we believe sustainability will continue to become more central to how portfolio companies compete and grow.
