Publication of SIDI’s 2022 Social and Environmental Report

The Social and Environmental Report brings together the figures and data from SIDI’s social investment activities, as well as the results in terms of the social and environmental performance of the partners we support.

The Social and Environmental Report is the result of extensive data collection and analysis work carried out by SIDI’s Social and Environmental Performance team. It will be supplemented by a detailed report on the partners’ social, environmental and financial performance, available in September 2023.

In 2022, SIDI is pursuing its mission as a solidarity investor and demonstrating the added value of its action.
