Our sustainability policy

Drawing on our entrepreneurial DNA, we anticipate tomorrow’s needs and design relevant financing solutions to accelerate positive transformations in society.

“The need to move to a sustainable growth model has never been more pressing. To ignore this is to lose the ability to operate in the future, regardless of the sector or industry.”
Laure Villepelet, Head of ESG, Tikehau Capital

A differentiating asset: Sustainability by Design

Our rigorous approach involves the participation of all employees, allowing us to integrate sustainability criteria at every stage.

Sustainability experts are assigned to our investment teams to ensure proximity and skill development. Investments are evaluated based on both sustainability and economic criteria.

To go a step further, informed by scientific reports from the IPCC, the IEA and the work carried out on planetary boundaries, Tikehau Capital has set up a sustainability-themed and impact investing platform to help speed up the necessary transitions.
