Our
mission Our
mission
Armen is a purpose driven company, as defined by the 2019 French “loi Pacte”.
The Armen lighthouse is one of the most famous lighthouses on the Brittany coast, built between 1867 and 1881 off the Ile de Sein. An embodiment of foresight, resilience and trust, this century-old building has helped many sailors find their way through the rough waters of Brittany’s western tip, while withstanding the onslaught of wind and deadly waves.
Our mission is threefold.
Foster equal
opportunities
Share economic value
created internally
among GPs and among
their portfolio companies
Mitigate climate
change and protect
biodiversity
by offering strategic
support to GPs
The good execution of our mission will be ensured
by a triple control mechanism:
The mission committee
brings its members together at least twice a year. The mission committee monitors closely the operational KPIs set as part of the mission.
The verification by an accredited and independent third-party
as framed per Loi PACTE
The indexation of the team remuneration.
These targets is monitored closely at least on a yearly basis,
by the investment team and the mission committee.
The mission committee is composed of 5 members:
