Forests are the first operational focus. The group said the Amundi Arbora Nova fund aims to mobilize EUR 200.00 million, while the division is scheduled to expand toward water and biodiversity from 2027. Timothee Jaulin was appointed to lead the division.

Second-quarter earnings add scale

Next results arrive October 30
