EURAZEO’S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY A proactive CSR strategy

Methodology, integration and results 2.1.1.2 of the analysis Collection of information The first phase, consisting in finding and gathering information, is carried out during the identification phase. This phase includes documentary research based on reports, sector and thematic benchmarks and press articles on the sector of activity and on competitors. More in-depth research is carried out in the form of interviews with experts and managers, due diligence conducted by external firms, and site audits. Analysis and perspective The careful appraisal of a target acquisition in respect of CSR issues increase the ability to forge strong convictions in the selection of investments. The objective is to analyze the target company from three angles: the performance of the target company itself; • the positioning of the Company in relation to its business sector • and its competitors; the stakeholder perspective. • This analysis is used to identify the most significant CSR issues and the Company’s performance in this respect.

Restitution to stakeholders The CSR analyses are submitted to the three main stakeholders: the investment team in charge of examining the target company to • determine any aspects requiring further analysis; the Investment Committee to enlight its decision-making; • the Company’s management – if the acquisition is completed – to • draw up the CSR action plan. Monitoring and roll-out of action plans During the acceleration phase, an action plan is drawn up with the Company. It is prepared on the basis of the material issues identified during the identification phase, for which the Company will define progress targets. It also includes the essentials that make up the CSR roadmap recommended by Eurazeo (see Section 2.1.3). To monitor the roll-out of the action plans, Eurazeo organizes one to three yearly meetings with each portfolio company. The number of meetings depends on the materiality of the challenges that must be developed. Value enhancement During the divestment phase, an overview is carried out to measure progress achieved since the acquisition.
