THEIR VALUES :

"Kimpa supports entrepreneurial families in the three circles of family, shareholders and management. Their services are co-created with their clients and adapted to their needs, whether these consist of governance, impact investment, wealth management or equity transactions."

KIMPA ACHIEVES BENEFIT CORP CERTIFICATION!

Recognized as the 1st Family Office with a Social and Environmental Impact in Europe, Kimpa is proud to continue its pioneering work among family offices by obtaining Benefit CorpTM certification.

 

In France, B CorpTM has been present since the end of 2015 and forms a community of around 160 members, reflecting the European economy with companies of varying sizes and from a wide range of industries. Kimpa is the first family office to join.

 

B CorpTM certification enables Kimpa to join a community of over 2,700 companies worldwide that are reinventing the way we do business by reconciling profit and public interest.

 

Founded in the United States in 2006, the group includes well-known companies such as Ben&Jerry's, Patagonia, Nature & Découvertes and Triodos Bank, as well as innovative start-ups such as La Ruche qui dit oui, Squiz and FairPhone. What they have in common is that they combine economic performance with a positive impact on the planet.

KIMPA, A COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE PUBLIC INTEREST

So it's only natural that Kimpa has decided to seal its commitments in its articles of association by becoming a mission-driven company, making it the 1st Family Office with the "mission-driven" label in France. Introduced in the Pacte law "relative to the growth and transformation of companies" voted in spring 2019, the status of mission-driven company reflects the idea that, beyond the pursuit of profit, companies must take into account the common good.

Kimpa's commitment to serving the public interest is in line with the firm's core values, which are to go even further in supporting major transitions, but also in advising companies on family governance, so that each generation can continue to do business with complete peace of mind.

KIMPA, EXPERTISE DEDICATED TO IMPACT INVESTING

Kimpa's raison d'être is to "direct capital towards high-impact projects for the planet and society", and we support entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial families, institutions and companies in their move towards impact investing.

Based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, impact investing is dedicated to investing in companies that not only care about their footprint, but also actively contribute to solutions to societal challenges such as the climate crisis, migration issues, plastic pollution, the circular economy and the reduction of inequalities.

The company's primary objective is to promote the social and environmental dimension in all aspects of wealth management. To achieve this, Kimpa builds and then supervises tailor-made sustainable solutions for its customers across all asset classes: listed portfolios, real estate, alternative investments, impact private equity and impact investment banking.

"Environmental commitments are no longer an option but an obligation for all companies, and we are convinced of the need to reconcile profitability and positive impact. We are committed to developing an environmentally coherent economy and to implementing all the changes necessary to limit and reduce our impact on the climate and biodiversity".
