Eurazeo, a pionneer. Eurazeo is one of the most advanced companies in its sector due to steady growth momentum which encourages innovation. This year for example, it measured the extended socio- economic footprint of its investment arm, Eurazeo PME. Its active contribution using open source technology also develops practices in the profession. Most private equity companies joined the 2020 carbon initiative that Eurazeo helped set up two years ago. In 2017, its proactive approaches were internationally renowned: Eurazeo has been distinguished by six of the world’s seven leading extra-financial rating agencies. Eurazeo also jumped from 77th to 21st position in just two years in the ranking of womens’ representation on the Boards of SBF 120 companies (source : Ethics & Boards). Ground-breaking tools. Analysis grid to detect upstream risks and opportunities in acquisitions and perform carbon stress testing on business models; “customized” toolbox to help investments develop; vendor due diligence report to leverage progress at the time of sale. This year, Eurazeo worked hard to take into account the 17 sustainable development goals defined by the United Nations: they are now incorporated into due diligence reports and gradually rolled out during the monitoring of companies. Eurazeo also supports its companies through acceleration programs to speed up progress: enhancement of responsible supply chain practices, reduction in CO 2 footprint. Hence, 16 portfolio companies measured their scope 3 footprint, which includes indirect greenhouse gas emissions p

“Our approach and practices have evolved. We can now quickly develop our companies to create sustainable value while actively contributing to the fight against climate change and the United

Nations sustainable development goals.”

Responsibility is embodied in Eurazeo’s ambitious and demanding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. For many years, this has been the keystone of Eurazeo’s strategy: it is rolled out through exemplary governance bodies, strict business ethics, a proactive approach to environmental protection and the fight against climate change, and a constant focus on all its stakeholders.
