Behind our innovative projects lies a fundamental commitment: fostering a sustainable future for both local communities and global ecosystems.
From the word go, Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity has upheld its investment convictions by developing a distinctive offering. This unique offering combines financial performance with social benefit and environmental responsibility. For nearly 20 years, we have been investing in solutions to meet the major global environmental and social challenges of the 21st century, taking a transformative and proactive approach.
The scarcity of resources, exacerbated by climate change and population growth, represents a crucial challenge for our present and our future.

The energy crisis has highlighted the vulnerability of energy supplies and the need to adopt more local, resilient and environmentally friendly energy sources.
We finance and develop projects working to accelerate the energy transition. These local and affordable energy alternatives such as biomass cogeneration are focused on the circular economy.

(1) Investments in responsible, sustainable and impact strategies.
For nearly 20 years, Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity has brought solutions to major environmental, societal & economic challenges by developing innovative investment strategies.
To deliver impact, an investment cannot rely on a niche strategy. It has to be replicable and scalable to deliver significant impact over time and in an industrialized way.
Our strength also lies in our ability to transform our assets and create value through sustainable practices.
Investing to achieve positive impacts requires measuring and reporting against these impacts. Aligning interests between investors and fund managers is achieved by implementing impact-linked carried interest2.
(1) In line with current market standards & financial institutions’ definitions (IFC, CFA Institute, GIIN and GSIA), Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity takes into consideration the core attributes of impact investing: intentionality and impact measurement. We believe the notion of scalability further highlights the commitments and actions of the investor in achieving the intended impact objectives of its fund.
(2) 20% to 40% of carried interest is conditioned to achieving predefined impact-linked KPIs.
