Impact & ESG

Financing projects that transform regions for the long term.

For SAHTI Groupe, a bankable project is also a responsible one: environmental, social and governance criteria are part of structuring from day one.

Our approach

Impact is decided at the structuring stage, not after closing.

Every deal we structure is reviewed for its effects on the environment, on people and on the local economy. These elements feed into the risk analysis presented to investors and into the conditions of delivery.

We work with funders and development finance institutions with high standards in this area: our files are prepared to meet them.
