[#PrivateDebt] Eurazeo is proud to strengthen its commitment to the energy transition by supporting Northern Offshore Services through our Eurazeo Sustainable Maritime Infrastructure (ESMI) Fund, classified as Article 9 under SFDR regulations. In 2024, we are financing four crew transfer vessels (CTVs), fully dedicated to the growing offshore wind sector, furthering the expansion of renewable energy solutions across Europe. ⚡🔋 Northern Offshore Services, Europe’s largest operator of CTVs, will benefit from a cutting-edge retrofit of two existing vessels. The upgrades include the installation of new engines, significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while also increasing passenger capacity—an essential step in boosting the efficiency of offshore wind operations. ⚓ This investment not only supports a market leader in renewable energy infrastructure but also underscores ESMI’s broader mission: advancing the shift to a low-carbon economy while driving sustainable growth in essential industries.

Eurazeo Leaders Summit: Building #legacy beyond #leadership 🌟 A few weeks ago, we united our remarkable portfolio companies' C-level executives from our Venture and Growth strategies, coming from across Europe—Spain, the UK, Germany, and Italy—for the first edition of the Eurazeo Leaders Summit. This was a unique moment to step away from day-to-day operations and reflect on what it truly means to lead with #purpose in the 21st century. Guided by the inspiring perspectives of Christophe Galfard, astrophysicist and former student of Stephen Hawking, and Roman Krznaric, philosopher and author of The Good Ancestor, we explored a profound question: What is the legacy of a leader? The discussions extended far beyond theory. Together, we tackled pressing challenges faced by today’s leaders—recruitment, governance, and the pivotal transition from founder to CEO—through engaging peer-driven exchanges and the intervention of seasoned recruiter and current CPO of Lilium, Karim Jalbout. We’re proud to do more than provide capital. At Eurazeo, we shape networks where visionary leaders from across Europe can connect, learn, and evolve—fostering shared growth and enduring impact. Here’s to building not only successful businesses but legacies that resonate for generations to come.

[#Buyout] Navigating top sectors and commercial excellence for growth 🌍 Last week, Amandine Ayrem, Managing Director - Mid-Large Buyout, and Guillaume de Montchalin, Managind Director - Portfolio Performance - Small-mid buyout, shared their perspectives on key investment themes and approaches for sustainable value creation at Private Equity Insights Paris, France's biggest industry event: ✅ Top Sectors in the Current Investment Environment Amandine highlighted how today's competitive landscape calls for building strong convictions around long-term trends rather than following market momentum. Our MLBO team applies this strategy, leveraging the investment flywheel to target three high-potential sectors: Financial Services, Tech-Enabled and Business Services, and Life Sciences. 📈 Growth Through Commercial Excellence Guillaume emphasized the unique value that private equity can generate. By systematically focusing on topline growth, we continue to deliver sustained value regardless of market conditions—ensuring growth in both robust economic climates and more uncertain periods. At Eurazeo, our MLBO and SMBO apply these two strategies: conviction-driven investments in sectors we master, and value-adding operational support with a bias for growth and long-term value creation. A big thank you to our peers for inspiring discussions! Jean-François Félix, Frans Tieleman, Ulf Avrin, François Candelon 📸 Unmask Photography #PrivateEquity #Growth #PrivateEquityInsights
