Policy appliedat Eurazeo level Stakeholder dialogue is an essential ingredient of sound governance and a better understanding of internal and external expectations. In 2013, Eurazeo conducted an initial assessment of the dialogue held with its stakeholders based on mapping and an identification of dialogue processes and tools. Today, Eurazeo has a structured dialogue with most of its stakeholders, particularly with its shareholdersand institutional investors. Eurazeo has sought to expand the scope of its societal measures and impact througha sponsorshippolicy focusedon education. In the firm belief that education is a fundamental vector for development and a growth driver for the future competitiveness of the economy, Eurazeo began taking initiatives in favor of education in September 2015 by setting up innovative projects developed with NGOs and teachers in the fields of reading, tutoring, commitment among young teachers and the provision of school materials or financingstudy bursaries.
