Cerea Partners is committed to promoting gender parity in the private equity industry
By signing the France Invest charter, Cerea Partners is setting ambitious goals to further gender parity within its organisation and portfolio companies.
Cerea Partners, the leading investor in the food & beverage value chain, has signed the France Invest charter in a reflection of its commitment to promoting gender parity.
Women already account for 22% of the partners at the asset management company, which acquired its independence last autumn. Cerea Partners truly believes that increasing the number of women within an organisation is a responsible performance-driver. With this in mind, it is asserting its commitment to actively promoting gender parity within its organisation and at the companies it supports.
As a signatory of the France Invest charter, Cerea Partners will endeavour to ensure that women make up a significant proportion of its investment teams by 2030 (in terms of the overall workforce and appointments to senior positions). It will also seek to promote gender parity on the executive boards of the companies it supports between now and 2030.
This is an integral part of Cerea Partners' ESG approach, which began in 2010. It truly believes that responsible investing is built into the DNA of its business and it sees efforts to further gender parity as a means of consolidating the long-term financial return on its investments.
