A solid ESG & Climate foundation supported by all teams

We have developed a demanding ESG and climate foundation, which we systematically apply to our investment strategies, taking into account the specificities of each transaction. The application of this foundation is the responsibility of the investment teams, with the help of our operational team and our ESG experts, in a collaborative and participatory approach.

Tailored approaches for each investment vertical

Private Equity, Venture, Real Estate, Public equity:
For each of these strategies, we have defined adapted ESG analysis and reporting tools and have designed ESG engagement mechanisms that are as close as possible to the needs and possibilities of our stakeholders. ESG and climate performance is a lever for creating operational and long-term value for our investments: this resolute conviction inspires our analyses and roadmaps.

Active and voluntary commitment to the climate

As a member of the Climate International Initiative (ICI), LBO France is committed to integrating climate change analysis into investment processes. LBO France recognises that some of the companies and assets in its portfolio may be at the origin of climate change impacts and be exposed to physical and transition risks. ICI members are collectively committed to contributing to the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to well below two degrees Celsius.

In 2024, LBO France further increased its engagement with portfolio companies on their climate-related topics. We provided resources and advice to the holdings in order to assess their carbon footprints (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) and from there, to initiate reduction trajectories.
