The startup Ombrea, in a €10 million fundraising, opens its capital to Mirova, the affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to sustainable investing, as lead investor.

Mirova, the affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to sustainable investing, today announced the launch of its Mirova Environment Acceleration Capital fund1.

At the 36th edition of the “Corbeilles Mieux Vivre votre Argent” awards, Mirova is proud to have received two awards that highlight the relevance of its long-term investment approach. This is the third year in a row that the management company has been awarded: the Corbeilles, which are highly recognised in the market, honour the companies whose funds achieve the best financial performance over time.

In line with our commitment to continuously participate in initiatives pushing for action on biodiversity issues, we have joined the group of 78 financial institutions managing more than $10 trillion in assets that urge world governments to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and call for raising the ambition by setting specific targets for the financial sector supporting redirection of financial flows from nature harming to nature positives activities. Transition to a nature-positive economy could generate $10 trillion of annual business opportunities and nearly 400 million jobs by 20301 while fostering cobenefits in the fight against climate change considering the essential role of biodiversity in regulation of greenhouse gases fluxes.

Among the themes on which the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) World Conservation Congress focused, the need to transform the global financial system and direct investments into projects that benefit nature and biodiversity was largely addressed throughout the event.

As sustainable investment is confirmed both as a crucial need and a growing trend, climate and ESG1 corporate disclosures remain on top of regulators and investors’ agenda. The European Union (EU) is currently revising its requirements for corporates sustainability disclosure (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive or CSRD). International bodies, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), are aiming for a climate disclosure “building block” to align practices at the global level. In June, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized a public consultation on corporate climate disclosures, to which Mirova responded. We share below our convictions that we have conveyed to the SEC and across various jurisdictions and initiatives (the EU, TCFD2…) in order to build robust, meaningful and useful frameworks for corporate climate and sustainability disclosure.

Despite the health context, we have continued to implement our biodiversity roadmap. You will find below a progress report on our different work areas, as the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) World Conservation Congress is taking place in Marseille, with the aim of taking action for a nature-based reconstruction, for climate change and for post-2020 biodiversity.
