EURAZEO’S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Socioeconomic footprint In 2017, Eurazeo PME conducted an innovative study in the private equity sector. With the help of a consulting firm, Eurazeo PME assessed its socioeconomic footprint to obtain a more comprehensive view of its impact on employment and the creation of economic value. Two types of impacts were assessed: operating impacts of the Eurazeo PME management company • (purchases, wages, taxation); catalytic impacts related to Eurazeo PME’s investments. • These impacts serve to generate economic and social benefits, directly (added value), indirectly (from suppliers) and induced (by household consumption), expressed in jobs and on economic value generated. The study covers data in respect of 2016, and includes the following companies: Eurazeo PME, Groupe Colisée, Dessange International (with franchisees), Groupe Flash, Léon de Bruxelles, MK Direct, Orolia, Péters Surgical, Vignal Lighting Group. The results of the study revealed that Eurazeo PME and its investments supported more than 89,000 jobs in 2016 (28% in France), i.e. a multiplier of 4.6. In other words, for 1 direct job, 3.6 more jobs are supported worldwide. Moreover, the contribution to GDP amounted to nearly €3 billion, 47% of which in France.

A stronger presence in international indices and initiatives Leadership recognized by the main players in non-financial ratings

Eurazeo has renewed its commitment to the United Nations Global Compact, confirming its “advanced” status. It has also responded for the second time to the CDP questionnaire, a sign of its commitment to transparency in integrating CSR, and more particularly the risk of climate change in its strategy. Eurazeo signed the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) of the United Nations in 2011, thereby confirming its goal of factoring non-financial criteria into its management, investment strategy and investments.
