The label was launched in 2020 by the French Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery to support middle-sized French companies. The Recovery Labels Charter mandates that a significant portion of the labelled funds’ assets are invested in French companies, including SMEs and mid-caps, in the form of equity or quasi-equity.
Additionally, the Charter includes ESG criteria that must guide the investment and shareholder engagement strategies of the labelled funds, including a prohibition on financing the coal industry. The label can be granted until December 31, 2022 and is effective for four years.
The product must comply with three categories of ESG obligations: relating to the investment strategy and the shareholder engagement; relating to the performance of ESG due diligence and the monitoring of ESG targets, in the form of a rating or indicator; and relating to the management company of the collective investment. The evaluation process also considers if the asset has already been awarded with the SRI, Greenfin or Finansol label.
The label has been launched by the Directorate General of the Treasury of the French Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty. The State and association are involved.
The control body of the “Relance” label decides on the applications in accordance with the Charter. The monitoring of the labelling dynamic is ensured by the Monitoring Committee of the “Relance” label, consisting of by banking and investment federations, advisors, public and institutional associations.
