Our history

Mirova was created to bring together abundant capital and savings with the investment needs of a real, sustainable and value-creation economy. Since its formation, Mirova has benefited from the sustainable asset management expertise developed by Natixis Investment Managers for over 20 years and has seen considerable growth in its operations and its investor base.

Mirova is operated in the U.S. (and for the Global Sustainable Equity strategy worldwide) through Mirova US LLC (Mirova US)

We believe the companies that are transitioning their business model towards sustainability will have a place in the future economy.
