CSR, a sustainable value creation engine. The imperative of adapting to climate change, the integration of the UN’s sustainable development goals, the growing influence of civil society and NGOs, greater regulation and taxation. In an increasingly complex environment, CSR is undoubtedly a lever for performance, sustainable value creation and contribution to the common good. Eurazeo helps its portfolio companies to improve. To this end, it relies on a dedicated team that provides its expertise to identify the most significant issues, and to define and support the roll-out of improvement plans. This momentum of continuous improvement was made tangible in the responsible practices of the portfolio companies who gained in maturity as illustrated in the annual CSR reporting. Eurazeo has signed the Shift project, a think tank whose mission is to clarify and to influence the energy transition debate in Europe to decarbonize the continent by 2050 and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels p

“Fundraising adds to our scope of action by putting significant resources at our disposal. The objective is to pursue this ramp-up for all our investment strategies, with the mid-term goal of reaching €3 billion in assets under management.” Frans Tieleman 4 CONFIRMOUR STATUS AS A KEY PARTNER FOR COMPANIES, BY HELPING THEM MEET THE CHALLENGE OF ANTICIPATION Subject to changes that are disrupting entire segments of our economy, companies must never cease adapting their business models. Thanks to its competencies in digital technology and CSR, Eurazeo can help them anticipate these changes by encouraging extensive transformation. Digital technology represents a key acceleration driver for Eurazeo as an investment company, and for its portfolio companies, to which it brings its know-how and network of partners. It was one of the first investors to rely on a Chief Digital Officer and create a “start-up studio,” an incubator that assists portfolio companies with the acceleration of their digital growth plans and provides them with an ecosystem of resources and skills. Eurazeo also strives to capture the full potential of digital technology in its investment processes and in its organization by relaying on big data and artificial intelligence. “The digital revolution is in full swing at Eurazeo. Because of this strategy, our investments can design disruptive models and develop more rapidly than their markets” Sophie Flak Digital transformation, a key axis for differentiation.
