The Place Objectif Biodiversité initiative enters a new phase

The 17 institutional investors behind the initiative, supported by AFG, Institut de la Finance Durable, France Invest, France Assureurs and launched with the backing of Af2i, have announced the selection of management company Starquest-Montefiore to manage the unlisted Objectif Biodiversité fund. The fund will invest primarily in unlisted European and French companies active in the preservation and restoration of ecosystems. Starquest-Montefiore’s proposal stands out for :

• an operational approach, close to the players in the field, integrating MRV solutions ;
• innovative technological tools (eDNA, satellite data, geospatial intelligence, Darwin Data platform) for rigorous monitoring of biodiversity impact;
• a clear and robust methodology, in line with investor expectations and IPBES objectives.

With this second fund, the Objectif Biodiversité initiative confirms its ambition to structure a demanding and innovative investment framework in the service of nature.
