Voting Policy 2026
Mirova’s voting policy reflects its commitment to responsible corporate governance, aligned with its sustainable investment strategy and the creation of long-term value.
Foreword
As a responsible and committed investor, Mirova aims to promote the development of a corporate vision focused on the creation of collective value over the long term. This approach contrasts with the traditional idea of a company as elaborated over the last few decades. Two key concepts structure our strategy.
Taking all stakeholders into account
We believe that companies can no longer be considered solely from the shareholder’s point of view. Companies are first and foremost collaborative projects, which are made possible by a number of constituting parties: investors (shareholders, creditors, etc.), whose main role is to provide capital; employees, who play an essential role in a competitive world driven by innovation; and public authorities who develop the infrastructure and increase the attractiveness of the area. Our belief is that executives are not solely in place to serve the interest of shareholders, but rather that corporate governance should be shaped to include the interests of its key stakeholders.
A long-term approach
We believe that the creation of wealth requires a long-term perspective, which considers sustainability issues. Mirova encourages companies to include environmental and social issues in its purpose, and to adapt their articles of association accordingly. We feel that shareholders have a role to play in spreading this vision of what a company should be, which is why our voting policy encourages:
- The development of a long-term shareholder base,
- The creation of governing bodies that serve all stakeholders and address CSR1 issues ,
- The introduction of a compensation policy which is not only fair to its stakeholders, but which also promotes sustainable growth, and
- increased transparency and a better quality of both financial and extra-financial information, through annual audited reports covering all these issues.
Implementing these practices is a long process
Mirova has also decided to launch an in-depth engagement strategy which addresses these issues through dialogue with companies and targeted advocacy actions with public authorities.

The team's quarterly round-up Fixed Income
Ten years after the Paris Agreement, COP30[1] in Belém unfolded against a backdrop of shifting global dynamics, where climate issues are increasingly intertwined with strategic, industrial, and sovereignty considerations. While the final text does not resolve all uncertainties, it confirms a clear trajectory: climate finance is entering a phase of maturity, one that demands greater credibility, transparency, and measurable outcomes. For Mirova, this 30th edition highlighted both the growing influence of actors from the Global South and the emergence of more robust financial tools capable of mobilizing private capital at the scale required.
