CSR Approach
Eurazeo supports its companies in the implementation of best practices in CSR while defining a structured and coherent policy for itself. .
A long-term commitment
Taking the long-term into account is one of the major characteristics of Eurazeo’s DNA and the way in which the group intends to practice its profession as a shareholder. Its practices and behavior have clearly illustrated this principle since many year and Eurazeo wanted to demonstrate this and measure it. The group therefore formalized its CSR policy and built a general framework for its actions.
In 2011, it was decided to develop a coherent comprehensive methodology which includes a process, governance, reporting and action plans.
That work led to the formalization of its commitments in a charter. That document formalizes precisely the stakes to which Eurazeo is bound and constitutes a base reference and framework for inspiration leaving each investment associate the responsibility to defi ne their own priorities and objectives based on its business and constraints.
A commitment measurable over time
All of this work finds its natural extension in the measurement of progress, through the establishment of reliable and accurate reporting. Quantitative and qualitative indicators shall provide the possibility of measuring the results obtained on each item of the charter, the risk areas and the progress made by each investment associate.
Eurazeo performed CSR reporting for the first time in 2011 based on its consolidation scope and those of its fully consolidated subsidiaries (Europcar, APCOA, Elis, ANF Immobilier and Eurazeo PME).
Signatory of PRI
Eurazeo signed the UN’s “Principles for Responsible Investment” (or “PRI”) in December of 2011. Their adoption confi rms Eurazeo’s commitment to include non-fi nancial criteria in its management and investment strategy as well as in the development of its portfolio companies.
