What are the Foundation\u2019s commitments to impact finance?
\nMaxime Borgogno, Investment Officer, sheds light on the selection process for supported organizations and the evolution of the Foundation's investment strategy.<\/p>\n
An approach based on three key criteria:<\/strong><\/p>\n Our selection process is based on three fundamental pillars:<\/p>\n The heart of our process: field due diligence<\/strong><\/p>\n Funding application reviews include in-depth due diligence, including a site visit. This step is crucial for us to understand our partners' business models, governance, and social performance. It's by visiting our partners' sites that we can best identify their needs, understand their challenges, and build relationships of trust.<\/p>\n Investment strategy and climate issues<\/strong><\/p>\n The Foundation's investment portfolio is evolving to adapt to a constantly changing global context. Our 2022-2025 strategic plan places a particular emphasis on financing climate risk mitigation and adaptation. This focus guides us in our search for new partners, targeting those who actively integrate climate issues into their activities. This is also why we have strengthened our presence in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia, regions particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n \u27a1\ufe0f Watch the video to learn more about our approach!<\/p>\n\n
