Groupe LMBO follows an investment strategy that relies on ethical standards with an emphasis on aligning the interests of various stakeholders, which they believe is key to the success of any enterprise. Their investment philosophy is coherent with the objectives of the Fondation du Littoral, established in 2005, which promotes the sustainable development of coastal areas in cooperation with local operators.

This innovative form of capital features in several of their group investments. LMBO’s approach combines present and future investing anchored in sound ethical practices.
