We believe responsible investment is a key driver of long-term performance and sustainable growth.
Sustainability
Introduction
Naxicap Partners is strongly committed to the responsible development of its portfolio companies. We believe that driving sustainable growth generates meaningful positive impact across our portfolio and drives long-term value creation.
ESG lies at the core of our commitment. In line with Naxicap Partners’s values, we support our portfolio companies by bringing practical insight and strategic guidance to support their development. We aim to reduce operational risk and promote initiatives that contribute to balanced governance.
We strive to help reduce environmental impact by fostering innovation and creativity. We are equally committed to ensuring fair social conditions. We firmly believe that our longstanding experience of partnering with businesses contributes positively to the performance of our portfolio companies.
Our Commitments
“Naxicap Partners has laid the first cornerstone of its ESG strategy in 2016, as we joined the PRI and international Climate Initiative (iCI). Since then, we have established a robust ESG system by deploying relevant tools, developing methodologies, and consolidating our ESG team.
Our choices were validated by our clients, historical and new, as they assess and monitor our performances on a regular basis. Naxicap Partners is recognized by several LPs as a leading ESG player, above the average level of its peers. This level of performance is the result of continuous efforts to strengthen our actions and achieve our goals, tackling challenges along the way.
In 2026, we have launched our first Article 8 Fund with a Sustainable Investment objective (Naxicap Evergreen Opportunities - NEO Fund), an evergreen Fund distributed through the BPCE banking network.
Regarding our portfolio, our strategy for the coming years is to further support portfolio companies in their pursue of global performance, with a focus on building resilient business models, integrating sustainability considerations such as climate change constraints and opportunities.”
