At a time society is calling
into question the dubious practices that led to the current financial crisis, we
continue to discover social entrepreneurs daily in France, Europe and around
the world who created social enterprises and need funding and support.
They share one goal: to
respond to a need or a social emergency through an operational solution or a specific
service. Most of them have existed for many years. With an increasingly prosper
environment, particularly thanks to the awareness of governments and the
private sector, they have the ability to be profitable and the will to
continuously adjust their growth model to improve their social impact.
PhiTrust Partenaires has
chosen to fund and support those companies that have proven the relevance of their
social impact. Their management has to confront all the challenges faced by a
fast growing SME without compromising their social mission.
We now have a portfolio of
some twenty social enterprises in Europe and Africa, some of which have needs
for additional funding and strategic support in order to implement their
development strategy, which leads us to move forward in our fund raising
process to meet their expectations and give them the financial and strategic
tools for success.
We hope many of you will join
us to support these entrepreneurs who have become true friends and who continue
to prove every day that a company can strive for social good while creating
economic value. Without their example, we would not be convinced that ethical and
sustainable finance is possible.
