Identification of investment segments and targets in the circular industry for an investment fund

The climate emergency and the growing environmental awareness of consumers are leading to the emergence of companies offering services, products or solutions with a reduced environmental impact compared to existing alternatives.

In this context, investing in initiatives offering an alternative to polluting production methods is becoming fundamental. This is why many investment funds have adopted a societal and environmental mission to enrich their investment thesis and thus seek the future leaders of a decarbonized economy.

eleven thus brought its expertise in CSR-related business issues to assist an investment fund in the analysis of key segments of the circular industry as well as innovative companies of these sectors in order to build a portfolio of acquisition targets.

This assignment led to the formalization of sectoral analyses of the circular industry as well as the identification of about fifteen targets among a base of 400+ companies studied. Among these companies, both B2B solutions working towards sustainable production and brands seeking to control their production and supply chain to offer sustainable and/or circular economy products were identified.
