Last Thursday evening, the Indefi Sustainable Finance team had the pleasure of hosting its annual event dedicated to Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) in private asset markets. The aim was to collaboratively discuss how CSOs can make a tangible impact in their portfolio companies, thereby advancing the role and position of CSOs within their organizations. A huge thank you to all our guests for attending the cocktail party and actively contributing to our dialogue on these crucial issues: 🔹 Aligning the sustainable finance function with the development strategy of asset management firms.  🔹 Creating new investment vehicles with robust sustainability characteristics.  🔹 Identifying sustainability vulnerabilities in portfolio companies before initiating exit processes.  🔹 Proactively supporting portfolio companies on CSRD compliance. We look forward to continuing this momentum and driving innovation for a greater impact together. Thank you once again to everyone who made this event a success! #CSO #Sustainability #SustainableFinance #ESG #PrivateEquity

We have also helped Serapid better analyze the strong expected traction of new applications where RCT offers unique possibilities and in particular with the Lifts segment. We look forward to seeing this growth materialize.   👏 Congratulations to Serapid' management (Emeric Labesse, Guillaume DAVIES), alongside with LBO France (Charles Béal, Jean-Marie LEROY).
