Citizen Capital
Citizen Capital is a leading French private equity fund dedicated to using an impact-driven investment approach to deliver both financial and social returns for investors and society at-large. Citizen Capital manages €60 million and provides growth capital to high growth small or medium companies (€1 to 50 million sales) with a strong social purpose targeting : - Inclusion : adress the needs of underserved populations (silver economy, health, education, Bottom of the Pyramid...) - Social mobility : enable excluded people to access employment and cross social barriers (job creation in underserved areas, integration of disabled or low-educated workers...) - Sustainable production and consumption : change consumption habits and give access to sustainable goods and services (local production and short distribution channels, environment-driven technologies...) - Social Innovation : introduce new organisation models with tangible positive impact upon employees and partners (employee shareholding schemes, collaborative management...) Our goal is to build wealth for all stakeholders in our portfolio companies. In addition to capital we offer a combination of strategic, financial, operational guidance to the companies in which we invest, as well as a pro-active support in building and driving impact strategy – Citizen Capital has implemented a methodology combining social impact and ESG approach. Citizen Capital has signed the Principles for Responsible Investment (United Nations, PRI) and is a member of the G8 Social Impact Investment Task Force.
