ESG at the heart of our strategy

We believe that every investment should thoroughly incorporate objectives for improving the environmental footprint and social impact of the companies that we support. As such, ESG considerations are an integrated part of our strategy and are systematically factored into our investments.

This approach is aligned with the principles of the International Climate Initiative (formerly IC20), of which the Company¹ became a member in 2017.

Sagard SAS is also a signatory of the “Investors for Growth” and Gender Equality charters from France Invest (the French private equity association) and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI).

Our key ESG objectives

Complying with all current regulations and our commitments as investment professionals (gender equality, diversity index, etc.)

Defining indicators and implementing carbon footprint improvement plans

Setting up broad-based schemes for sharing value creation with employees

Responsibility Commitment
