Facing social and environmental challenges in Seine-Saint-Denis, Les Valoristes stands out with an innovative approach to circular and solidarity-based economy. Founded by Ngoc-Lan Loi, this eco-social structure is committed to building a more inclusive world by reintegrating people distant from employment through on-the-job training as valorization agents.
Les Valoristes not only reduce waste but also transform it into opportunities. Their mission is to contribute to the ecological shift by repurposing materials and creating upcycled furniture from construction and public works waste.
Kudos to this initiative, which combines social and environmental impact while contributing to the positive transformation of Seine-Saint-Denis!
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.
