Yotta Capital Partners and Carbone 4 Join Forces to Accelerate the Decarbonization of Industrial SMEs

Yotta Capital Partners, the first growth capital fund dedicated to the Industry of the Future, and Carbone 4, the first independent consulting firm specializing in low-carbon strategy and climate change adaptation, announce the signing of a groundbreaking partnership. Together, they will actively support companies in Yotta’s portfolio in defining and achieving their goals for significant reductions in CO2 emissions.

Launched in 2019, Yotta Capital Partners invests in French industrial SMEs to help them transition toward the Industry of the Future, making them more competitive and more low-carbon.  Indeed, Yotta Capital Partners places decarbonization at the heart of its value creation strategy. As such, the fund aims to balance its goal of high returns with a non-financial objective of significantly reducing CO2 emissions from the companies in its portfolio. With this in mind, Yotta Capital Partners is partnering with the French leader in low-carbon strategy consulting, which will support the Yotta team throughout the fund’s lifespan and monitor portfolio companies through a comprehensive and ongoing analysis of their carbon impact, starting from the moment of investment. The firm will also apply its expertise to the portfolio to identify major medium- and long-term carbon challenges and advise on implementing a significant reduction trajectory.

According to Xavier Herrmann, Founding Partner of Yotta Capital Partners : “ The strategy of our Smart Industry fund is based on a strong conviction: industrial companies that implement a robust decarbonization strategy will create more value than others. We are very pleased with this pioneering partnership with Carbone 4, the recognized leader in climate issues. Their expertise will be a key asset in achieving our ultimate goal: fostering the growth of mid-sized industrial companies through projects that generate economic, social, and financial value, backed by a strong commitment to climate action. ".

According to Laurent Morel, a partner at Carbone 4: “ We welcome this close partnership with Yotta. This is an excellent way to launch a structured initiative to reduce CO2 emissions across all our portfolio companies. Thanks to this systematic and long-term support, we are in a very strong position to have a decisive impact on the companies in our portfolio. ".
