FÉRIQUE Fund Management and sustainable development
Our governance structure aims to promote rigorous management and a strong culture of ethics and transparency.
Ensuring the sustainability of our organization
For a vision based on sustainable development to be embodied in the operations of a company, it must be part of an organizational structure, a sustainable development policy and a concrete master plan.
We continue the initiatives from our master plan developed in 2022 and approved by the board of directors.
Our new organizational structure focused on sustainable development is formalized particularly in the charters of the Board of Directors and its sub-committees, which reflect the different responsibilities regarding ESG principles. Our actions will thus be structured for the coming years, facilitating the achievement of our various sustainable development goals.
In order to establish a culture of ESG best practice at all levels of the organization, actions are taken to communicate our master plan and policy throughout the organization. The commitments set out in the plan are implemented and our achievements shared through our range of communication channels.
The notions of integrity and responsibility are at the heart of our actions. Every employee, board member, and Investment Monitoring Committee member has the responsibility to adhere to a code of conduct that provides principles to guide their conduct in business.
In terms of governance, risk management is handled by the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors. An assessment process of our risks is in place, accompanied by action plans for their mitigation. We continue to prioritize risks related to data protection and have implemented measures based on three pillars: people, processes, and technology.
As an organization, we believe that responsible investment should be an approach widely adopted by the industry.
That is why FÉRIQUE Fund Management is particularly involved in the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), an international group of institutional investors committed to implementing and encouraging the adoption of responsible investment principles.
At FÉRIQUE, it is important to evolve in an ecosystem of partners who also share sustainable development goals.
Our fund managers are key partners. Their management of the FÉRIQUE Funds is a crucial axis of our master plan, but we also have relationships with several suppliers. Engaging meetings are held with key partners to learn about their sustainable development initiatives and to discuss best practices.
