2025 Sustainability Report

We are proud to present our 2025 Sustainability Report. It highlights our journey as investors in raising the bar, as well as how our vast portfolio of startups are making their own progress.

It has become more important than ever to stay the course on sustainability. Artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm and some political leaders are relegating ESG to an unnecessary burden or a potential lawsuit. But at Partech, we are determined to integrate ESG into the very heart of our investment decisions.

As long-term investors, we partner with mission-driven entrepreneurs who are on a journey to build a product or a service that will benefit users and companies around the world. It is also part of our responsibility to ensure there are no adverse side effects or consequences of these new products or services. That’s why we intend to leverage our privileged vantage point: on our platform we have more than 200 companies, and through those companies we can gain deep insights into industry trends, and be inspired to find new ways to problem solve.

When it comes to sustainability, our mantra is to say what we do and do what we say. This has become our standard way of working at Partech.

For example, our most recent funds are Article 8 (Partech Africa II, Partech Venture) and Article 9 (Partech Impact Fund).

We will also announce two new Article 8 funds in the next 12 months, following the same rigorous ESG due diligence procedures, before, during, and post- investment.

Over the next few years we will transform our company and carefully select the startups we decide to partner with.

Our threefold sustainability plan, announced last year, is to:

• Embrace environmental criteria, not only as part of our investment process and our own carbon footprint, but also to empower portfolio companies to develop their own sustainability path;
• Focus on people development, through meritocracy, excellence, and ethics, committing to good governance throughout the portfolio lifecycle; and
• Drive positive societal impact through tech, both at portfolio and management company levels, and promote ‘Tech for Good’ initiatives.

We thank you for trusting us. Our ecosystem of LPs, GPs, and startups can turn technology into real progress, where we are shaping a world that we can be proud to pass down to future generations.

On behalf of the entire Partech management team,

ESG Manager and Member of the Executive Committee
