ASF Legal Notice

SFDR Disclosures – F6L Africa GP B.V. and of Africa Seed Fund Coöperatief U.A.

31 July 2025

F6L Africa GP B.V. (the AIFM), a Dutch-based registered alternative investment fund manager within the meaning of article 3(2)(b) of Directive 2011/61/EU of 8 June 2011 on alternative investment fund managers (AIFMD), makes the following disclosures for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR) and Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment (the Taxonomy Regulation). As clarified by the European Commission in its Q&As on sustainability-related disclosures published on 14 July 2021, the AIFM must comply with certain SFDR requirements applicable to registered alternative investment fund managers. 

The AIFM acts as registered alternative investment fund manager of Africa Seed Fund Coöperatief U.A. (the Fund). 

The Fund qualifies under article 6 of the SFDR as it does not promote environmental or social characteristics (article 8 of the SFDR) nor does it have sustainable investments as its objective (article 9 of the SFDR).

  1. AIFM-related disclosures

Transparency of sustainability risk policies and transparency of the integration of sustainability risks – article 3(1) and article 6 of the SFDR

General overview 

A sustainability risk refers to an environmental, social or governance (ESG) event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of an investment.

[1st Option: The AIFM reviews and assesses potential sustainability risks within the meaning of SFDR as part of its decision-making process and ongoing risk monitoring with respect to investments made or to be made by the Fund and has integrated such review into its internal procedures and policies, as further detailed hereafter. 

Relevance of sustainability risks

Sustainability risks may affect the Fund’s performance having regard to the types of investments made or to be made in accordance with its investment policy and objectives, meaning that if any such risk occurs, returns on investments may be materially negatively affected as a result. Investors and potential investors should note that it is difficult to assess with reasonable certainty the probability of the occurrence of such risks and the likely impact of such materialized sustainability risks on the value of investments.]

The identification and assessment of risks, including sustainability risks, will take place on an ongoing basis if and when investments are made in accordance with the Fund’s investment policy. Such review is performed by the AIFM, as summarized below:

  1. prior to an investment decision being taken on behalf of the Fund, the AIFM identifies the material risks, including sustainability risks, associated with the proposed investment. 

  2. these risks form part of the overall investment proposal to be assessed by the AIFM. 

  3. ultimately and following its assessment, the AIFM makes the relevant investment decision having regard to the Fund's investment policy and objectives and subject to the Investment Committee’s approval. 

[The identification, assessment and, to the extent possible, mitigation of sustainability risks is embedded into the above process through the implementation of the AIFM’s internal policy:

F6 Ventures integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations throughout its entire investment process, ensuring both risk mitigation and opportunity creation are grounded in sustainable and responsible principles. We employ negative screening to exclude investments with potentially harmful social or environmental impacts, while proactively seeking opportunities in sectors that drive digital inclusion, address climate challenges, and promote women’s leadership. ESG factors are systematically integrated into our investment and ownership decisions, combining fundamental analysis with ESG risk assessments to deepen our understanding of portfolio companies. We emphasize corporate engagement through active dialogue, voting, and shareholder actions to encourage better ESG practices. Our impact strategies are intentionally designed to support climate change mitigation, gender equality, and sound, transparent governance. Throughout the lifecycle of our investments, F6 Ventures maintains active ownership and monitoring, using engagement and data tracking to ensure alignment with ESG goals. We also provide comprehensive, periodic impact reports to stakeholders, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and accountability in driving sustainable impact.
