Today we speak to Julien Lescs, co-founder of Kimpa, the first family office in Europe dedicated to impact investing. Julien and his team are actively helping wealthy families and family businesses align their family values with their impact investment Strategy in order to invest for good, innovate to keep their family quest alive and win with the next generation on board.
He recently published a clinical perspective on ‘how the environmental urgency affects the psychodynamics between family members and within family businesses’. Julien is a Fellow member of the Family Firm Institute, father of 2 and fan of ultra trail. We speak about how Julien got to this strong and courageous mission, the current fear of the traditional banking sector when it comes to impact investing, we speak about responsible & sustainable finance- , ESG, impact investing, philanthropy...
Julien explained so many crucial aspects to impact Investing, the importance of the 3 pillars of his impact strategy for example:
Intentionality/ Additionality/ Measurability
We really liked Julien’s deep reflections on family business using Carl Jung’s Term : the collective unconscious.
“I truly believe that future generations of family business entrepreneurs will make successful transitions by focusing on the love they have for their family, their shared history and the future of the planet” JL
