Impact Approach
Amplifier l'impact
Maximizing our contribution
Impact at the Core of Our Business Decisions
Our approach aims to achieve competitive financial returns while positively impacting society and the environment.
- Change is driven by people
It is people who make decisions every day for their organizations. This is why applying the impact lens in critical decision-making is the foundation of creating credible and lasting change for people and the planet.
- Our ESG and impact approach
Echoing the UNDP SDG Impact Standards, we circle back to three simple questions and answer them following a rigorous analysis, whether at the project, portfolio, fund or company level:
- What positive environmental, social and economic impact does it bring?
- What are the actual or potential negative impacts of doing this for people and the planet?
- What can affect the organization’s financial success from an environmental, social or governance (ESG) perspective?
- Mobilize capital to make a durable impact
Through our innovative investment solutions, aligned with leading standards, we aim to mobilize capital toward critical social and environmental pathways driving systemic change.
Our team at FAM has implemented a rigorous ESG and impact approach. Our policy defines our strategic vision for generating measurable, systemic impact across our operations and all fund platforms under our management.
Acting for the future
Our Impact Thesis
What problem are we trying to solve?
In the current global model based on short-term and relentless economic growth, decisions made by people in organizations negatively affect communities and the planet, resulting in a global polycrisis.
To effectively address this multifaceted challenge (environmental degradation, social inequalities, human rights abuses, geopolitical instability, governance failures and technological disruptions), decision-makers need to shift their mindset so as to operate within planetary boundaries and for the well-being of all.
How is FAM contributing to solving these global challenges?
Embedding impact comprehensively, we design strategic investment solutions that aim to catalyze system transformation from within, mobilizing capital to generate long-term positive outcomes for communities and the planet.
