In 2023, the total amount of ethical investments surpassed 30 billion euros, marking a 15% increase in just one year! According to the FAIR – Finansol Label – La Croix Barometer, this growth is primarily driven by employee savings, which account for 18 billion euros of this total.
Despite an uncertain economic environment, solidarity investments continue to attract interest, with a growing share in employee savings (9.5% of the total) and funds being directed toward projects with significant social and environmental impact.
Jean-Marc Palhon, Chairman of EXTENDAM, explained: “The market is lacking rooms to meet demand. Occupancy rates and prices are nowadays very high across Europe. Trends will probably change during the next 12 to 18 months. If interest rates continue to decline, many investors will be less concerned and will have easier access to credit, which will boost asset values“.
To optimize opportunities in this market, real estate private equity funds remain a preferred option. By investing in both property and business assets, these funds offer a dual source of income: regular rental payments and potential capital gains from the business. Expected returns can reach double-digit levels, though they vary depending on the strategies employed.

The renovation of the iconic Ariane Tower in La Défense, is reaching new heights with a fully glass facade. Originally built in 1975, the tower is transformed to reduce energy consumption by 40% by 2030 while preserving the building’s unique design.
Acting as the project management assistant, REDMAN plays a crucial role in this ambitious project. Emilie Gonnot, Program Director at REDMAN, emphasizes: “This renovation is a true technical feat, allowing us to maintain occupant comfort while modernizing the tower’s energy performance“.
Since the work begun in November 2023, REDMAN has ensured effective coordination to minimize the impact on the building’s 85% occupancy. The operation is the first of its kind in Europe for an occupied high-rise building and highlights the group’s expertise and innovation in managing complex projects.
