The world and the economy today are facing long-term challenges such as resource security, a need to keep ecosystems healthy, and climate stability. Since there is no Planet B to turn to, it is a matter for all to work for the environmental and energy transition’s acceleration. Finance is no exception and has a role to play to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and therefore limit temperatures increase to 1.5°C.1 Investments can also contribute to the transition to an economy that gives back to the planet more than it takes out in resources, and helps improving biodiversity. This is the purpose of the Mirova Global Environmental Equity strategy, a theme-based equity strategy aiming to invest in companies which develop robust solutions and cutting-edge services that generate a significant impact on the environmental value chain, in particular in energy and the rapid reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
