Approach

Four long-term transitions. Mirova believes four long-term societal and economic transitions will impact our future: demographic, technological, environmental, governance.

Demographics

Aging population, Urbanization, Growing middle class, Quality of life

Technology

Data proliferation & AI, Automation, Cloud computing & digitalization

Environment

Low-carbon economy, Efficient resource use

Governance

Innovation & adaptation, Fairness, Infrastructure

Philosophy is based on convictions that equity markets underestimate both growth opportunities resulting from long-term, transformational, secular trends and risk related to poor environmental, social, and governance practices. The team seeks to exploit these market efficiencies by building portfolios of companies that can outperform the market and produce greater sustainability impact.

Investment process
