Meet Gen Z, which are individuals born between 1996 and 2016, and accounting for a third of the global total population1. They never knew a world without internet and are more likely to be connected much of the time. We also believe they are more socially and environmentally aware and not afraid to voice their opinion. They are entering the workforce and are inclined to choose companies that are more aware of sustainability. We think that other generations will have to adapt to them, not the other way around, and they better do it fast and sustainably, as we feel the Gen Z disruption is in motion.

First of its kind, the LDN fund invests in projects involved in sustainable land use – agroforestry, regenerative and sustainable agriculture, sustainable forestry on degraded lands.

The gradual reduction of public support measures is ushering renewable energies into a new era: that of autonomy on electricity trading markets. The way in which the associated risks are managed (volatility, cannibalisation effects, modification of the supply/demand equilibrium, buyer consideration, etc.) therefore becomes a fundamental issue in the project’s business plan and consequently for all stakeholders. In this article, Mirova offers a look at merchant risk, how it can be analysed, the strategies to guard against it and the opportunities that can be seized.
The Environmental Finance Sustainable Investment Awards 2021 (SIA 2021) awarded sustainable investment pure-player Mirova the "Real assets manager of the year" award for the second year running, for its activities on nature-based solutions and renewable energy infrastructure.
