HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR 2.2.2 A priority issue: the fight against climate change International commitments 2017 was marked by the reinforcement of Eurazeo’s commitment in the fight against climate change, with the signing of two initiatives: “Manifesto to decarbonize Europe,” a call in favor of a • decarbonation strategy made by the Shift Project to political leaders; “Letter from global investors to governments of the G7 and G20 • nations,” an initiative supported by the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), signed by more than 200 major global investors calling on governments to implement the Paris Agreement.

Advocacy in the world of private equity Eurazeo is strongly committed to advocating for CSR and the fight against climate change in the private equity industry. In partnership with four other private equity companies, Eurazeo launched the “Initiative Climate 2020” (iC20) in November 2015. iC20 is the industry’s first initiative to help companies manage and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of their portfolio companies. It is the first collective commitment by French private equity industry firms in favor of the responsible and transparent management of greenhouse gas emissions by the companies in which they are shareholders. The iC20 signatories have pledged to take action to contribute to the COP21 objective of limiting global warming to 2°C. Since its launch, 18 private sector firms have signed up to iC20. Since 2017, Noëlla de Bermingham, Eurazeo’s CSR Manager, is in charge of the initiative’s coordination and steering within the ESG Commission of France Invest (Investors Association for Growth). Eurazeo also sits on the Steering Committee of this Commission. At European level, Eurazeo PME is an active member of Invest Europe, an European association of private equity and venture capital firms. Erwann Le Ligné, member of the Executive Board of Eurazeo PME, is Deputy Chair of the responsible investment working group. He is also in charge of the climate working group.
