Who are we ?

« Responsible capitalism aims to regenerate exclusively financial capitalism, by giving it meaning and by acting on what we don’t want for future generations. In this spirit, all economic and financial actors strive to reconcile overall/sustainable performance and positive externalities. »

Caroline de La Marnierre,
Chief Executive and Founder of the Institute for Responsible Capitalism

Our Activity

The way to responsible capitalism
