Beskrivelse af usikkerhed ved indregning eller måling:Uncertainty about the measurement of investmentsPortfolio companies are small or medium-sized, unlisted companies which develop or operate projects within renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon credit-generating assets in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The investments are measured at fair value. As there is no active market for such or similar assets, the fair value of the investments, including receivables from the portfolio companies, is determined using valuation methods and assumptions made by management. Accordingly, the measurement of the investments, including receivables from the portfolio companies, is by nature subject to uncertainty. The investments are subject to individual risks, including but not limited to local operational risks, environmental risks, political risks, social risks as well as compliance risks and other related risks for development projects within the renewable energy sector in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. In determining the fair value of the investments, management considers the impact from these risks. The risks may potentially materialize negatively compared to the investment managers expectations, adversely impacting the fair value. Sustainability and DisclosureFrontier Energy is dedicated to developing and implementing projects that are environmentally and socially sustainable. When developing and building a project, Frontier Energy strives to benefit the neighboring communities and to adhere to global best practice, including IFC performance standards. As part of this work, Frontier Energy has a comprehensive ESG risks assessment process including conducting full Environmental & Social Impact Assessments for all projects and further emphasizes community engagement from early phases of project development. The 2023 annual report includes sustainability disclosures in accordance with the Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (SFDR). The new requirements are largely based on the latest Regulatory Technical Standards ("RTS") to the SFDR Regulation, which indicate which sustainability related information to be made available to investors through the annual report and how this information is to be presented.
