Mirova recognised as a ‘Best For The World™ 2021 B Corp in ‘customers area’

Mirova seeks to be a 100% sustainable investment asset management company², created in 2014 with the ambition to develop innovative investment products that allow investors to participate in the transition of the economy to a sustainable model.

Across asset classes, Mirova has worked to create investment solutions aiming at reconciling environmental and social positive impact with long-term financial performance. Mirova believes such products can benefit the world as well as answer investors’ appetite for impact and meet their financial requirements.

Today’s recognition today by the B Corp community in the ‘customers area’ for the quality and impact of its products is an honour and extremely pleasing for Mirova as a company and for all its teams. It encourages the firm to continue to collaborate with the global B Corp community to improve and positively impact all stakeholders. 

The Best for the World™ recognition is administered by B Lab, the global nonprofit network that certifies and mobilises Certified B Corporations, which are for-profit companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Today there are more than 4,000 Certified B Corporations across 77 countries and 153 industries, unified by one common goal: transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. 

B Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. The B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service, it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it—like Mirova. Using the B Impact Assessment, B Lab evaluates how a company’s operations and business model impact its workers, community, environment, and customers. To achieve the B Corp Certification, a company must achieve a score of at least 80 points on the assessment.

"Best for the World is a special program for the B Corp community, and we're thrilled to resume it after pausing the program in 2020 due to COVID-19," said Juan Pablo Larenas, Executive Director of B Lab Global. "This year's Best for the World companies are operating at the very top of their class, excelling in creating positive impact for their stakeholders, including their workers, communities, customers and the environment. We're proud of the community of stakeholder-driven businesses we've cultivated over the last 15 years; together we're marching toward our collective vision of an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economic system for all people and the planet."
