EURAZEO INCLUDED IN THE EURONEXT VIGEO

WORLD 120, EUROPE 120 AND FRANCE 20

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY INDICES

RECOGNITION OF EURAZEO'S COMMITMENT AND EXPERTISE TO ESG

Paris, June 15, 2020 - As the only private equity firm present in 11 indices(1) compiled by 5 major non-financial rating agencies, Eurazeo is proud to be included in the Euronext Vigeo World 120 and France 20 indices and to continue to be part of the Europe 120 index. Eurazeo was also ranked 5th by Sustainalytics in the "diversified financials" category for ESG.

These distinctions reflect years of commitment to social responsibility issues in the private equity sector. A pioneer in its approach, Eurazeo has since 2008 made the integration of all ESG criteria at the heart of its strategic thinking and its investment activities.

This long-standing, forward-looking awareness demonstrates the firm's expertise and pioneering ambitions in ESG in the capital investment market.

As far back as 2008, Eurazeo published its first carbon footprint review across its entire portfolio and was also the first capital investment firm to measure its extended socio-economic footprint. Included since 2012 in a benchmark CSR index, Eurazeo stands out for its long-standing and forward-looking ESG awareness, which is reflected in the fact the firm since 2014 has regularly been included in leading indices.

Eurazeo is among the top 5 companies for its "ESG rating" as ranked by Sustainalytics, a global leader in ESG and Corporate Governance research and ratings. The ranking was last updated in April 2020. With a score of 74/100, Eurazeo was classified as an "outperformer" in social criteria and "leader" in environmental and governance criteria. Consequently, Eurazeo falls within the top 98th percentile, considerably above the average for the private equity market.

By integrating CSR considerations into every stage of the investment cycle and by positioning it as a core driver for transformation and long-term growth for companies since 2008, Eurazeo has generated a level of momentum that made it possible for it to anticipate the emergence of a low-carbon society.

Virginie Morgon, Chairwoman of the Executive Board, said, ""Corporate social responsibility is at the heart of who we are. Eurazeo has always taken into account non-financial criteria in its own business as well as in its investments. We strongly believe that this focus helps to drive strategic growth for our business and enhances our appeal to employees, investors and shareholders. As announced at our last Annual General Meeting, we intend to ramp up our efforts and will soon present our new ambition in CSR."
