Ardian has secured €100 million in capital commitments for its nature-based solutions (NBS) strategy from development finance institutions, including the European Investment Bank (EIB) and Proparco and British International Investment (BII).
The investment firm said EIB’s development arm EIB Global has pledged to commit €50 million, France’s Proparco will commit €20 million and BII has agreed a €10 million commitment to the Averrhoa NBS fund as anchor investors.
Together with commitments from other investors, including €5 million from FDJ United, the impact investing fund of the French national lottery, and a contribution from French mutual insurer Mutuelle d’Ivry La Fraternelle, Ardian expects the Averrhoa NBS fund to secure a €100 million first round of commitment.
