Maximizing our contribution
Impact at the Core of Our Business Decisions
Real impact is the core of our business strategy. Our approach aims to achieve competitive financial returns while positively impacting society and the environment.
- Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals:
Through our investments, we mobilize capital towards the United Nations’ SDGs to address specific societal challenges and support global sustainability efforts.
- Manage ESG risks and opportunities:
We prioritize the management of risks and opportunities associated with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria to maximize the financial value of our investments
- Manage actual and potential negative impacts:
We ensure that our investments do no cause significant harm.
FAM has implemented an impact policy which defines the strategic objectives of FAM in terms of impact, as well as those of the fund platforms under its management.
Acting for the future
Our Impact Thesis
What problem are we trying to solve?
The prosperity of our society depends on the health of natural systems. Environmental degradation, social inequalities, geopolitical instability, and governance failures — exacerbated by rapid technological disruptions — are increasing risks and weakening the overall resilience of these systems.
Our current economic model, based on short-term growth and cost externalization, significantly contributes to these crises. Effectively addressing the global polycrisis requires a redesign of economic and financial systems so they operate within planetary boundaries while ensuring well-being for all.
How is FAM contributing to solving these challenges?
FAM aims to act as a catalyst that accelerates and amplifies the positive transformation of finance. It seeks to do so by designing and demonstrating solutions that address major environmental and social needs, while engaging other stakeholders in this momentum for change. How?
- Designing innovative solutions
- Building strategic alliances
- Mobilizing and aligning capital
- Revealing what’s possible
