Extendam’s ESG Policy
Since its founding, EXTENDAM has embedded environmental and social responsibility at the core of its investment DNA. We are committed to addressing the structural sustainability challenges of the hospitality industry, ensuring that our growth creates a positive and lasting impact for both the sector and the regions where we invest.


EXTENDAM’s Responsible Investment Policy
In 2023, EXTENDAM scaled up its ESG policy by building out specialized non-financial expertise in asset evaluation, monitoring, and reporting. Our goal is to lead the integration of ESG standards within the Private Equity space. In practice, our investment process includes :
- Pre-investment evaluation: Our management team assesses the current and potential integration of ESG criteria by target SMEs.
- Environmental audit: An audit of underlying assets is conducted by an independent provider within 6 months of acquisition, resulting in an Environmental Rating from A to E.
- Annual ESG reporting: Invested SMEs provide annual reports, complemented by a constant ESG dialogue between EXTENDAM and the companies.
- Environmental Rating update: Ratings are updated every 2 years, with an objective to improve the rating by 1 to 2 levels (depending on the initial score) between acquisition and disposal by EXTENDAM.
Investments must comply with our exclusion policy, which is based on conviction-led exclusions. EXTENDAM prohibits the financing of any activity involving the sale of tobacco or weapons, or related to gambling.
Finally, to further contribute to reducing CO ₂ emissions, EXTENDAM excludes any investment in hotel holdings using coal as a heating energy source.
Our Ethical Charter
To embed our values into EXTENDAM’s DNA, we have defined an Ethical Charter based on our founding missions: excellence, proximity, innovation, trust, and respect.
Our Responsible Investment Policy (Article 29 LEC)
In accordance with Article 29 of Law No. 2019-1147 (November 8, 2019) regarding energy and climate, and its Decree No. 2021-663, portfolio management companies are required to publish how their investment policies account for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, as well as the resources deployed to contribute to the energy and ecological transition.
Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)
In application of EU Regulation 2019/2088 (SFDR), information regarding the integration of sustainability risks into EXTENDAM’s investment process and the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors is available.
2024 LEC Report
EXTENDAM provides this extra-financial report in application of Article 29 of the Energy-Climate Law (Article 29 LEC), presenting sustainability information in accordance with Article D.533-16-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code for organizations with over €500 million in balance sheet or assets under management.
Signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since May 2019
EXTENDAM has implemented an active and rigorous Responsible Investor approach, reflected since 2019 in its adherence to the UN-supported PRI.
This approach is based on the conviction that companies integrating ESG issues into their strategy offer better long-term prospects and will be among tomorrow’s sector leaders. Consequently, they are expected to achieve superior long-term performance while providing broader Value-add for the environment and society.
Events
EXTENDAM initiates two major annual events for the hospitality industry.

The “Matinales”
“The EXTENDAM Hospitality Matinale,” held as regional editions and thematic sessions (such as the “Bank Tourism Club Matinale”), in collaboration with Bpifrance. These events prioritize topics related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within the hotel and catering sector.
La Fabrique du Tourisme
“La Fabrique du Tourisme” A think tank initiated alongside Bpifrance, MKG Consulting/HospitalityOn, and ESSEC Business School. Its goal is to foster the emergence and widespread adoption of more responsible professional practices adapted to a new global context through events and published reports.

Which regulatory frameworks govern Extendam’s activities?
Extendam’s operations are governed by several regulatory frameworks, including:
- Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR – Regulation (EU) 2019/2088): This requires transparency on how ESG criteria are integrated into investment decisions for all funds. It also mandates the promotion of environmental and social characteristics for vehicles classified as “Article 8.” Note: Since 2023, all new vehicles established by Extendam fall under Article 8 of the SFDR.
- European Taxonomy (Regulation (EU) 2020/852): A classification system for sustainable economic activities.
Note: While vehicles managed by Extendam promote environmental and social characteristics, they do not qualify as “sustainable investments” as defined by the regulation. Therefore, these vehicles do not commit to aligning their investments with the European Taxonomy.
- Article 29 of the French Energy-Climate Law: This mandates transparency regarding non-financial practices, specifically how climate and biodiversity challenges are factored into risk management and investment decisions.
Note: The non-financial report published in compliance with Article 29 for the 2024 fiscal year is accessible here.

Why integrate ESG criteria into hospitality investment?
We are convinced that integrating ESG criteria into hotel investments allows us to:
- Meet the evolving expectations of both travelers and investors.
- Enhance asset value by optimizing environmental and social performance.
- Anticipate future regulations to protect long-term investment value.
-
How can hotels reduce their environmental footprint?
Hotels can implement several strategies, including:
- Energy-efficient renovations: Thermal insulation, LED lighting, optimization of heating and cooling systems, centralized management systems (BMS), and the installation of renewable energy equipment.
- Operational management adjustments: Strategies aimed at waste reduction as well as water and energy savings.
- Awareness programs: Encouraging staff and guests to adopt more virtuous behaviors (regarding transport, activities, food sourcing, and sustainable consumption).
