Impact is at the heart of our DNA

Impact assessment throughout the investment

We source projects based on target effects. The world’s challenges are many. We have defined priority areas to build a sustainable and inclusive society.

We assess relevance and intentionality according to 6 criteria

Our analysis grid allows us to challenge and support the impact strategy. Each company is evaluated on the basis of 6 IMPACT criteria:

Intensity of need

To what extent does the problem affect a large number of people/stakeholders and does the solution get to the root of the problem?

Putting it into perspective

How does the proposed solution fit into an ecosystem and enable it to evolve?

Evidence of the impact model

What links can be made between the actions implemented by the project leaders and the impacts generated?

Accessibility of the solution

Is the solution accessible to as many people as possible? In particular, to certain categories of individuals

Consistency of values

Is the search for inclusion and sustainability reflected within the organisation? or fragile organisations?

Impact totals

Is the impact balance positive, once all externalities are taken into account?
