Our investment strategy

We focus on five impact investing themes

 

Impact investing is combining the pursuit of financial returns with measurable social and environmental performance.

 

Organised around investment themes aligned with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals2   impact investing selects compagnies that provide solutions to the main social and environmental issues.

 

These five themes aim to meet basic human needs by facilitating:

  • Access to decent housing, one of the factors of social cohesion
  • Access to a meaningful job, a factor for social inclusion
  • Access to healthcare
  • Access to education and training
  • Environment preservation and fair access to natural resources

Impact Investing is combining the pursuit of financial returns with measurable social and environmental performance.

Measurability is key for impact investing, together with intentionality and additionality.

Focusing on companies contributing to the common good is part of our DNA

 

Measurability is key for impact investing, together with intentionality and additionality. These core principles are at the heart of our impact investing investment process.

 

Our team analyses both financial and impact performance, ranks companies and establishes clear key performance indicators including:

  • Number of housed people
  • Number of jobs created or maintained
  • Number of beneficiaries of healthcare services
  • Number of people trained or number of tons of recycled waste

Our impact investing capabilities

Invest with impact

 

We have developed a social investing offering that falls squarely within a booming sector, in particular thanks to a favourable ecosystem and interest from employee savings plans.

 

Our strategy was created with an « impact first » approach which has enabled us to support companies from the social and solidarity economy over the long-term.

 

We support long-term development with patient capital. This works to multiply its positive impact. Our programme is symbolic of our commitment to investors who care about both the most vulnerable people and social enterprises.
