Social
We value openness and a variety of perspectives to enrich our decisions and enhance our performance.
We make inclusion part of everything we do. Whether in our work environment or in our engagement with our portfolio companies and external managers, we rely on diverse perspectives, openness and collaboration to make the best decisions. We also pay close attention to the tax practices of the companies in which we invest, so that they benefit the communities where we do business.

Our conviction
An ecosystem that supports openness in all its forms encourages the emergence of a higher-performing economy that is both fairer and more inclusive.
Countering abusive tax planning
La Caisse is opposed to any form of tax evasion. We believe that we need to establish optimal conditions for promoting fair taxation in support of strong communities.
Like the OECD, we believe that the country where the company is incorporated is not an end in itself to determine the existence of an aggressive tax planning. This is why we analyze each investment opportunity paying special attention to the consolidated tax rate applicable and for which the rate of 15% constitutes one of the reference points.
