By adhering to PRI’s six key principles, signatories commit to: 1. Incorporating climate issues into investment analysis – Assessing climate risk and social impact when making investment decisions 2. Being active owners – Signatories engage in shareholder activism, advocating for sustainable corporate governance and responsible business practices. 3. Seeking appropriate disclosure on sustainability issues – Investors encourage companies to be transparent about their sustainability performance, climate impact, and corporate governance policies. 4. Promoting the acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry – Financial institutions work to advance responsible investment practices by educating stakeholders, partners, and policymakers. 5. Enhancing effectiveness by working together to implement the Principles – Collaboration among PRI signatories strengthens industry-wide efforts to develop innovative, sustainable finance solutions. 6. Reporting on progress toward implementing the Principles – Signatories provide regular sustainability reports, tracking their commitment to responsible investment and disclosing their climate impact and sustainability performance.

Green Initiative´s Commitment to a Sustainable Future The financial sector holds immense power to drive global climate action. By joining PRI, Green Initiative plays a critical role in ensuring that investments align with climate commitments: • Ensuring impact-linked financial instruments align with climate objectives: we conduct investment due diligence, verifying that funds support sustainable energy, green infrastructure, and carbon reduction projects. • Tracking investee´s compliance with climate and nature impact goals: Through ongoing environmental performance assessments, we ensure companies meet climate and nature criteria to maintain financing agreements. • Facilitating financial term adjustments based on climate performance Financial institutions can adjust interest rates, lending terms, or investment priorities based on a investee´s progress. This process fosters trust, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that capital flows actively contribute to a low-carbon, sustainable economy. Together, we can build a future where responsible investments play a pivotal role in mitigating climate change and fostering positive outcomes for our planet.
