For the company

• Clear and holistic development plan, defining how to grow the value of the company in a
  sustainable way without undue risks.
• Access to very experienced managers and consultants who have worked within larger
  companies and can bring new tools and approaches as the company grows without
  the need to "reinvent the wheel".
• Access to a global network to support internationalisation plans and growth.
• Where necessary, access to external investors to provide short-term financing or
  long-term growth capital.

For the investors

• Access to a pre-filtered set of high potential companies, reducing effort to identify
  and qualify targets.
• Reduced due diligence time and effort as SEV has already carried
  out a corporate sustainability assessment.
• More effective engagement with companies before the investment :
  executives and current owners are already committed to corporate
  sustainability, including clear and structured governance,
  appropriate management controls, good HR practices and
  transparent reporting.
• More effective relationship with companies after the investment :
  companies have a defined business plan and the support
  of SEV to monitor achievement of results.
• Increase in the ESG rating of the portfolio, reducing
  risks and opening up access to new sources
  of liquidity.
