Strategies
Private Equity - BuyoutBuyout
We invest our own capital in the Small-mid and Mid-large buyout segments to support the transformation efforts of highpotential companies and accelerate their international expansion. We work alongside management teams, helping our investees to strengthen and scale up in three main ways: through international expansion, digital transformation and acquisitions. We invest in French companies with valuations of €50 million to €250 million. We have 18 professionals specializing in this market segment, working with companies to bolster their business models and become global enterprises. We help French SMEs expand internationally, to turn them into mid-cap companies. We maintain daily contact with them, helping them to set up the necessary structures, introduce new processes and raise non-financial challenges.

We are investing in European companies and assets supporting the transition to a sustainable economy and services. These assets fit with our ESG commitments, which we took to the next level in 2020 with the launch of the O+ program. We invest in the sustainable infrastructure of small and medium-sized companies operating in the digital and energy sectors. This comprises digital, energy-transition and renewable-energy infrastructure, both existing and new. When selecting our investments, we also look for a low risk of redundancy and technological obsolescence. All our assets contribute to a low-carbon economy, meet ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) criteria and are aligned with the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities, the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal, which aims for net zero emissions by 2050.
