Natixis Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund
The Natixis Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund aims to identify key transitions that are shaping the future – including demographics, the environment, technology, and corporate governance. Its high conviction, multi-thematic approach is designed to combine financial performance with environmental and social impact. The fund seeks to:
Outperform the MSCI World Net Dividends Reinvested Index over the long term²

¹ Since 2006, the B-Corp movement has been promoting strong values of change throughout the world to make companies “a force for good” and to distinguish between those that reconcile profit (for profit) and collective interest (for purpose). The B-Corp’s objective is to certify companies that integrate social, societal and environmental objectives into their business models and operations. For more information: www.bcorporation.net/about-b-corps. Mirova is B-Corp certified since 2020.
