Güglingen, 26 April 2024 – hep global GmbH, the Baden-Württemberg-based specialist for solar parks and solar investments, has been awarded the ESG Transformation Award 2024. In the "Impact Investing" category, hep took 2nd place and was thus honored for the fund "HEP – Solar Green Energy Impact Fund 1 GmbH & Co. geschlossene Investment KG"[1] as well as for its ESG concept. With the "HEP – Solar Green Energy Impact Fund 1" – the first official climate protection fund – hep wants to play a key role in shaping sustainable change in the financial sector. The fund aims to build up production capacities for the generation of renewable energy and aims to reduce CO2 emissions. "It serves as a guideline for the level of ambition of all our derivative products”, says Heiko Szczodrowski, CEO of HEP Kapitalverwaltung AG. "With our exclusive "HEP – Solar Club Deal 1", we are now also offering[2] wealthy individuals who qualify as semi-professional investors investment opportunities similar to those for institutional investors. We are delighted that our commitment has been recognized by the independent ESG Transformation Award." Broad portfolio of sustainable solutions As a project developer and financier of solar parks, hep covers the entire value chain – from site selection and development to the selection of components and verification of durability and recyclability at the end of their service life, hep includes all sustainability aspects of the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Thanks to this unique business model, hep creates impact on two levels: on the one hand, by building solar parks as a renewable energy source, and on the other hand, by considering sustainability aspects along the supply chain of its solar park components. "Through our careful supplier selection processes, we take environmental and human rights standards into account for our direct suppliers and are committed to integrating them into further stages of the value chain”, says Dr. Julian Hochscherf, ESG Manager at hep. In addition, hep develops concepts to provide additional benefits for the solar parks. The biodiversity approach, for example, aims to design interventions in ecosystems in such a way that, in addition to the main purpose – the construction of a photovoltaic system to produce green energy – the original function of the area is also supported, and its preservation is considered in development activities. In addition, with its solar products, the hep Group helps other companies to reduce energy-related emissions and offers individual approaches that are precisely tailored to the requirements of the customer's energy consumption. These tailor-made solutions help to achieve companies' sustainability goals in a cost-effective manner while accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. ESG Transformation Award The ESG Transformation Award was presented for the second time in 2024 and honors special sustainability initiatives in the financial industry. A four-member, independent jury – including Silke Stremlau, Chair of the Sustainable Finance Advisory Board of the Federal Government, Lanna Idriss, Board Member of SOS Children's Villages, and Prof. Christian Klein, Chair of Sustainable Finance at the University of Kassel – recognizes initiatives in the areas of environmental, social and governance and evaluates them based on scientific indicators. Other 2024 award winners were Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, the financial services group SEB and Zurich Insurance.
