Astorg announces its Board Diversity ambition

Diversity is one of the key pillars underpinning Astorg's ESG Roadmap 2022-2025. Alongside diversity, Astorg's ambition is to work on Climate, Impact and Information Security, both internally and with its portfolio companies.

In 2021, Astorg created a DE&I Taskforce to build a roadmap for improving Diversity, Equity and Inclusion across its teams and portfolio companies. Astorg is implementing a broad set of initiatives from recruitment to the development of a working environment based on inclusion and fairness.

“We believe that diversity of perspectives, together with relevant knowledge, competence and experience, leads to a better understanding of the environments in which our portfolio companies operate. As a result, it will foster innovation and improved decision-making, thereby creating value for our businesses”. says Sonia D’Emilio – Partner, Human Capital.

Astorg plans to deliver on this ambition by increasing diversity within its investment team, increasing the number of appointed independent board members and encouraging its companies to promote more diverse management teams. Progress will be assessed and monitored through Astorg’s ESG program.
