The CETIH Group, a specialist in the housing envelope and energy-efficient refurbishment sectors, is reorganising its shareholding structure in order to consolidate its independence and sustainability. The new capital structure incorporates a philanthropic endowment fund (35%), an increased stake for employees and management (33%), and selected investment funds (32%) - including Tikehau Capital's Tikehau T2 Energy Transition, Ouest Croissance and the Regenero fund managed by Quadia and focusing on the regenerative economy.
At the same time, CETIH has become an "entreprise à mission" (mission-driven company), paving the way for an innovative model based on collective and responsible governance. Yann Rolland has handed over the reins to François Guérin, who has taken office as chairman and chief executive officer.
This transaction reaffirms Quadia's proactive approach to transforming value chains by supporting players able to change a sector's long-term dynamics by making it more sustainable, more circular and more responsible. By joining CETIH's "mission committee", Quadia aims to play a role in monitoring an ambitious impact plan driven by a management and employees convinced of the benefits that this innovative virtuous model brings to the group and its stakeholders.
"We are convinced that many companies, leaders in their sectors, can continue to increase their competitive advantage by investing in increasingly virtuous business models incorporating environmental and social responsibility. This transaction is a strong signal of our aim to support this type of transformation, especially as the CETIH Group has chosen a governance model consistent with our view of corporate responsibility." Guilhem Ricci, Senior Impact Investment Partner at Quadia.
