Inyova is a brand of Inyova Impact Investing GmbH.
Inyova falls under the definition of an asset manager within the meaning of section 134a (1) no. 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and must therefore describe its participation policy under the meaning of section 134b of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
- Shareholder rights within the meaning of § 134 b para. 1 no. 1 AktG:
Inyova exercises shareholder rights for active participation in the company at selected companies in which corresponding shares are held.

- Monitoring of important matters of the companies in the meaning of § 134b para. 1 no. 2 AktG:
Inyova actively monitors the affairs of the companies in its investment universe with regard to strategy, financial and non-financial performance and risk, capital structure, social and environmental impact and corporate governance. This is done, among other things, by reviewing the companies’ legally mandated reporting in financial reports as well as ad hoc announcements and through various data providers on sustainability issues. - Exchange of opinions with the corporate bodies and stakeholders of the company in the meaning of § 134b para. 1 no. 3 AktG:
Inyova strives for a constructive dialogue with selected companies in which corresponding shares are held, in particular to promote their value preservation and sustainable development within the firm. The dialogue is aimed at, among others, the management and supervisory boards of the public limited companies and may also include speeches at general meetings.
- Cooperation with other shareholders in the meaning of § 134 b para. 1 no. 4 AktG:
In principle, Inyova is open to various forms of cooperation with other shareholders if this is conducive to the preservation and enhancement of value in the sense of sustainable development at the respective companies.
- Conflicts of interest within the meaning of § 134b para. 1 no. 5 AktG:
In the event of a conflict of interest, disclosure is made to the parties concerned in accordance with the required legal provisions and a clarification of the further procedure is made with them.
Inyova will publish the implementation of the participation policy within the meaning of § 134b para. 2 AktG on this website annually from 2022 onwards.
In addition, the voting behaviour within the meaning of § 134b para. 3 AktG, insofar as it has taken place, will also be published on this website from 2022 onwards.
