We aim to contribute to the development of a dozen international champions of impact

and to prepare their succession by investing in a dozen of funds with strong social and environmental ambitions.

Our beliefs
about impact

We conceive impact as a deliberate and profound transformation of existing economic models. Impact, in our view, is the advancement of new, regenerative models that respect the principles of living systems.

We assess impact using five criteria: intentionality, additionality, materiality, ambition and the commitment to adopt a holistic approach.

intentionality

We invest in companies whose primary mission, since their very creation, has been to develop products or services that provide clear and sustainable solutions to social and environmental emergencies.

Additionality

These companies and their products would be missed if they did not exist. They provide meaningful, novel, and fertile contributions through their constant innovation.

Materiality

The benefits provided by their products must be measurable, assessed, and constant.

Ambition

The entrepreneurs at the head of these companies are determined to achieve tangible and ambitious goals through the implementation of structured and actionable impact plans, which must be integral to their business model, with a commitment to ongoing and continuous improvement.

holistic commitment

These entrepreneurs design and embed the specific mission of their companies with a comprehensive and responsible understanding of their environment, ensuring a coherent alignment across their value chain and with their stakeholders.

Our strategy for direct investments

We aim to take active minority stakes in a dozen of innovative, growing and profitable European SMEs to help them scale their impact.
