It's time for action!

This week, we continue our series on the future of tomorrow, the main theme of the new Next2Be collection, a spin-off of LOBBY and L'EVENTAIL magazines. And, of course, the future is also about the preservation of our planet... The company we present to you this week has understood this !

There are many ways of envisioning the future, everyone has his or her own idea on the subject. If we were to do a survey, we would have as many different visions... as there are people questioned, each one answering with his own sensitivity. But if there is one point on which everyone agrees quickly, it is ecology! The planet is suffering, we know that now, and it is time to realize that we are going straight into the wall. And it is in everyone's interest to be aware of this.

Fortunately, a growing number of entrepreneurial entities, convinced by this urgency, are taking action. Among them, there is the one that interests us today: Tikehau Capital.

"Our role is to invest in and finance SMEs. In this respect, we have developed a division dedicated to companies involved in the energy transition. We are among the European leaders in terms of alternative asset management. And we are convinced that combining sustainable growth and financial return is the best way to mobilize significant capital and, therefore, to have an impact," says Edouard Chatenoud, head of the company's Benelux branch. The company has always chosen a responsible policy with environmental, social and good governance criteria as cardinal principles. Let's face it, the same cannot be said of all companies active in the financial sector...

But what also makes the success of Tikehau Capital is its capacity to have a long-term vision. On this subject, here is what Edouard Chatenoud tells us: "Entrepreneurship is in the DNA of Tikehau Capital. Our Group is young and agile. It's this state of mind that allows us to innovate. Tikehau Capital strives to anticipate tomorrow's trends in order to build innovative and tailor-made financing solutions, to create value and accelerate positive changes. A sine qua non condition to accompany the necessary transitions ".

Finally, and remarkably, convincing figures and accumulated expertise certainly weighed in the decision of the Belgian public authorities to entrust Tikehau Capital Benelux with the management of the Belgian Recovery Fund (BRF). For the asset management company, the aim is to provide direct support to companies that have suffered from the covid crisis. And this, mainly on the basis of loans. Quite a challenge and a great success!

We affirm it here, Tikehau Capital has all its place in the companies for which "The future is now!

The "consumer actors" of tomorrow!

In the meantime, admit it, you're wondering where the name Tikehau comes from? Well, it's an atoll located in French Polynesia. If that's not inspiring... and exotic!
