English term or phrase: holdings
Bonjour, comment comprenez-vous le mot "holdings" ?

Latour's management of the company's holdings is based on good ethics, respect for the individual, health and equality, for example, following the UN's and OEcd's guidelines for sustainability.The overriding societal role of the holdings is a strategic ownership matter handled within the framework of Latour's processes for active ownership.

Positions ? Avoirs ?

Merci pour votre aide.

agree  Jean NICOLET: c'est une société de gestion qui doit probablement gérer un fonds ISR. D'où "avoirs (financiers)" qui est plus restreint que "actifs""

Ce sont des investisseurs (puisque le nom apparait en toutes lettres dans la question). Ils détiennent des participations dans d'autres sociétés.

Paris Ile-de-France - Directeur de Participations, Latour Capital
Directeur de Participations, Latour Capital ... participation à l'exécution d'opérations d'acquisition et cession ...

Il semble qu'il vaille mieux éviter le site de la compagnie qui est indiqué comme pouvant abriter des éléments malveillants ;-((

actifs


Explanation:
ce terme semble préféré à celui de assets qui, dans un bilan, représente l'actif opposé à liabilities / passif

Il est probable que ce choix soit lié à la structure de la société ; majoritairement capitalistique comme une holding
