The Luxembourg Finance Labelling Agency (LuxFLAG) has announced that the financial product Mirova Impact Life Essentials SLP1, managed by Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to responsible investment, has been granted the use of the LuxFLAG Social Impact Label under the Applicant Fund Status - a category specifically designed for newly launched investment funds that have not yet begun deploying capital, or have done so only to a limited extent.
This status acknowledges the fund’s strong alignment with best market practices in terms of investment policies and procedures, and its clear intention to deliver measurable and meaningful social outcomes.
As one of the very first funds to carry the LuxFLAG Social Impact Label, Mirova Impact Life Essentials SLP is a pioneering example of how capital can be mobilised to support the growth of unlisted European companies contributing to societal transition. The fund’s mission is fully aligned with the core objectives of the Label: to support investment products that actively contribute to improved living standards, decent work, and inclusive, sustainable communities - while maintaining transparency, robust social safeguards, and a commitment to positive impact.
"At LuxFLAG, we believe that responsible finance has the power to transform communities and lives,” said Isabelle Delas, CEO of LuxFLAG. “The Social Impact Label underscores our commitment to measured and managed positive change for the people. We are proud to recognise Mirova Impact Life Essentials SLP as one of the pioneers of this new LuxFLAG Label."
A mission-led company and BCorp™ certified, Mirova develops innovative investment solutions across all asset classes with the goal of combining long-term value creation and positive environmental and social impact. Today, Mirova is a key player in social impact investing in France, through listed strategies, real assets andphilanthropic initiatives via the Mirova Foundation endowment fund.
"The Social Impact Label awarded by LuxFLAG is a strong endorsement of our ambition to create tangible and lasting social value," said Marc Romano, Head of Impact Private Equity at Mirova. "Through Mirova Impact Life Essentials SLP, we are looking to combine financial returns with positive impact by addressing three major societal challenges: health and well-being, responsible consumption and lifestyles, and access to education and knowledge."
According to the press release, the launch of the LuxFLAG Social Impact Label in early 2025 marks a major step forward in recognising investment products that go beyond financial performance to deliver positive, measured and managed social outcomes. With this joint milestone, LuxFLAG and Mirova reaffirm their shared commitment to advancing responsible finance and scaling investments that make a real difference in people’s lives.
