INVESTMENT CULTURE
« One team » spirit
Fondations Capital team members embrace shared practices, personal discipline and commitment to achieve results within a strict ethical framework. Work streams are organized on the basis of a “one team ” spirit, with a view to achieving consensus on investment and shareholders’ decisions.
Geographic proximity between investors, managers and other decision makers ensure high responsiveness from the firm whenever necessary.
Fondations Capital’s team culture is further strengthened by the entrepreneurial spirit of all its members.
Highly analytical approach to build compelling investment case
Fondations Capital has developed a tactical and highly disciplined approach for winning investments.
Its investment teams undertake an intensive, disciplined and hands-on due diligence process, based on analytical quantitative and qualitative research into the target business. In-house teams work with selected industry experts and advisors to evaluate all aspects of an investment opportunity.
Fondations Capital’s approach is to set up an ad-hoc team of 3 to 5 professionals for each investment, involved throughout the investment cycle, from early-stage analysis, continuing through ownership management and the eventual realisation of the investment.
Responsible investor approach
In its investments and business practices, Fondations Capital is determined to act as a responsible investor, as defined in its Corporate and Social Responsibility Charter. Furthermore, the company's founding partners have a proven track record of closely evaluating environmental, social and corporate governance matters (ESG) during their due diligence process, calling upon leading consultants, and working hand in hand with management and employees to evaluate the impact of their strategic vision on stakeholders and their communities. Its policies have been drawn-up in collaboration with Vigeo, a leading independent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ratings organization.
