For Weastem, these are not side conversations - they sit at the core of our mission:
💡 Finance x Strategies for the New Climate Era
Our co-founders Emmanuel Parmentier and Imène Maharzi will both be speaking and moderating across three flagship sessions — the Value Creation Summit, the Climate Summit, and the ESG Breakfast.
Across these discussions, one theme stands out: sustainability has moved from being a specialist function to becoming a strategic backbone of private markets.
The implications reach far beyond ESG teams - they directly affect how GPs build conviction, how LPs assess future-fitness, and how portfolio companies navigate an era defined by volatility and transition.
The questions we will be exploring with peers and partners in Paris are not theoretical:
🔹 How can GPs revisit their playbooks to build value and protect against systemic risks?
🔹 How do LPs identify managers truly prepared for a volatile and uncertain world?
🔹 What does a future-proof equity story look like in the New Climate Era?
At Weastem, we believe the model of slow, incremental ESG is exhausted.
The real challenge - and opportunity - is to rethink value, risk, and performance at their core.
That means new strategies, new forms of cooperation, and new ways of linking finance to the resilience of the real economy.
We look forward to advancing this dialogue at IPEM and to exchanging with GPs, LPs, and portfolio leaders on how to adapt, protect, and create value in the New Climate Era.
