Driven by our « One Health » approach, our aim is to support portfolio companies in achieving a positive impact on the society and on the environment, with the ultimate objective to contribute to improving and saving patients ‘lives.
At Mérieux Equity Partners we are committed to responsible and sustainable investments, and we are convinced that ESG is an assurance of sustainability and performance that will benefit to all its stakeholders.
As signatories of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) promoted by the United Nations, we commit to the six principles of the responsible investment:
We are signatories of the Investors for Growth Charter, the Gender Equality Charter and the Value Sharing Charter of France Invest.
We are also a member of Initiative Climat International (iC International) and believe that private equity has to play its part in the context of a deepening climate emergency.
Our ESG actions are carried out in coordination with France Invest within the framework of several commissions : Talents and Diversity, Impact and Sustainibility.
Mérieux Equity Partners set up policies on the integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision-making process.
The investment policy integrates environmental and social characteristics of the investments. Since 2020, a periodical report related to extra-financial characteristics is available for investors.
ESG is integrated at each step of the investment cycle.
Integrating Nature: at the heart of our One Health approach
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing the different species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. At Mérieux Equity Partners, we prefer to talk about “Nature” rather than “Biodiversity”, considering that it includes a wider scope, combining both living and non-living things: water, soil, air, mineral, and light.
