Our approach
At European Private Markets ("EPM"), sustainability is embedded at the heart of our investment philosophy.
Guided by long-term thinking, our platform manages over €6.5 billion across infrastructure, corporate, and real estate debt, with a clear purpose: to finance the transformation of the European real economy.
We believe that businesses failing to embed ESG into their strategy will face increasing challenges in refinancing and risk losing value over time. We are very committed to management, setting clear social and environmental objectives supported by measurable KPIs.
Our teams treat ESG due diligence with the same rigor as strategic and financial analysis. By integrating sustainability criteria into the way we evaluate and select companies, we aim to ensure the long-term resilience of returns while driving European economy sustainable transformation.

Our ESG integration is systematic and auditable, spanning the entire investment lifecycle — from sourcing and due diligence to structuring, monitoring, and reporting. Through our proprietary GREaT scoring system and a suite of specialized tools, we assess every opportunity through a sustainability lens tailored to each asset class.
We embed ESG KPIs into financing terms, link margins to sustainability outcomes, and monitor progress with rigor. Whether it’s carbon intensity in corporate debt, taxonomy alignment in infrastructure, or 1.5°C pathways in real estate, our approach ensures that ESG drives both risk-adjusted returns and impact.
Our ESG governance is robust and multi-layered, involving ESG analysts, deal teams, investment committees, and dedicated middle office functions. Together, they ensure methodological integrity, regulatory alignment, and continuous improvement.
With top-tier ESG ratings (100/100 score from PRI assessment in 2025 for Private Debt), a Net Zero ambition at the LBP AM group level, and a strong track record of stewardship, EPM offers investors a platform where performance and purpose align. We don’t just finance projects — we finance progress.
