The thematic fund focusses on investing in companies and infrastructures that promote the circular economy and energy transition. It will invest in areas active in circular economy infrastructure and bio-waste economy. Both sectors (i.e. energy transition and circular economy) are key to achieving the objectives set by the EU, enabling progress in the decarbonization of the economy and minimizing/valuing waste that is currently untreated and disposed of in landfills. The investment strategy is supported by a macroeconomic environment marked by growing governmental and social pressure to act in the fight against climate change.
