Our sustainability governance

The governance of Andera Partners is collegial, composed of a Management Board (2 members), a Management Board, consisting of 13 members representing Andera Partners’ main activities, and a Supervisory Board made up of 3 people with experience in the sector, as independent members. The Sustainability team, which reports to the Management Board, is responsible for defining and implementing a Sustainability strategy for the management company and its portfolio companies.

Our sustainability approach

As an active investor with a 20-year track record of transforming the companies we invest in, Andera Partners must now be a major contributor to the challenges posed by climate change and the biodiversity crisis.

Our ambition for sustainable growth has been continuously strengthened over the past 10 years.

Each of the companies in our portfolio can, at its own level, contribute to providing sustainable solutions to preserve the ability of our societies to live on our planet.

We act on two main levers of contribution in our business:

Within all our funds, transforming the companies we support towards more sustainable model

Through thematic funds, financing the transition and the innovation in health to generate positive impact on society
