ACT AS A CHANGE AGENT
Be an active professional shareholder
Fondations Capital’s approach is to behave as an active professional shareholder for its portfolio companies. Fondations Capital aims to provide full support and to act as a catalyst to their strategic and operational improvement plans, transforming portfolio companies into regional or national champions.
As committed shareholders, Fondations Capital investment professionals share in the strategic decision-making process, working hand in hand with management teams. Ad-hoc assistance is provided when required on specific topics, such as acquisitions or balance sheet management.
Partner with management and stakeholders
Fondations Capital founding partners have a strong experience of forging close, trust-based relationships with management teams and creating positive momentum within the entire company, thus paving the way for swift implementation of value creation plans. Significant emphasis is put on establishing appropriate dialogue with employees and their representatives, ensuring the right investment is made on the training of people and that all employees are proud of being part of their company.
Past investment experience has helped to develop a recognised ability in the structuring of tailored incentive plans that benefit not only managers, but also a broad base of employees.
Create sustainable value
Business owners, management and labour in France and neighbouring European countries are becoming increasingly familiar with the potential of private equity firms to stimulate growth for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Fondations Capital pays the highest attention to social issues and to the environmental impact of business, both at the investment analysis stage and during ownership. Social and environmental issues are assessed as risk factors, but above all are perceived as long-term value creation drivers.
