Team and Position Overview
The Eurazeo Planetary Boundaries Fund (EPBF) is an Article 9 SFDR impact buyout fund, aiming to develop and support tomorrow’s leaders to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy. In collaboration with other members of the EPBF team—comprising 9 investment experts and 2 impact specialists—the Sustainability & Impact Intern will support the implementation of EPBF’s operations and activities, aligned with the Fund’s two main themes:
- Making regenerative and circular economy the new norm
- Promoting solutions for transition and adaptation
At the heart of EPBF’s impact methodology—which underpins its operations and investment processes—are impact analyses and various specific tools (scorecard, impact acceleration plan, reporting campaign, etc.). These tools help the EPBF team identify relevant investment opportunities, confirm their alignment with the Fund’s investment thesis, and maximize the positive contributions of portfolio companies to the Planetary Boundaries. The Sustainability & Impact Intern will work closely with EPBF team members to help achieve the Fund’s objectives.
Additionally, the intern may collaborate with colleagues across the Group, particularly with Eurazeo’s Sustainability & Impact team, to continuously improve the Group’s sustainability performance and maintain its market leadership in this area.
