Gloria Mirrione shared thisGloria Mirrione shared thisWe were proud to host “Ethical AI: Power, Purpose & Responsibility” in partnership with B Lab Singapore and The Great Room this week. It was an engaging room full of thoughtful questions and honest conversation about what it takes to use AI responsibly, with purpose, and in a way that genuinely serves people and society. A huge thank you to our brilliant panel: Munas van Boonstra (Monks) Wan Sie LEE (IMDA) Zia Zaman (Microsoft) Paddy Balfour (Acre) From governance and bias, to transparency and real-world implementation, the discussion reinforced the idea that ethical AI is essential for building trust and making an impact as the technology develops. A big thanks to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a meaningful exchange. More to come.

Gloria Mirrione shared thisCongratulations!!Gloria Mirrione shared thisCongratulations to Regula Schegg, Wolfgang Hafenmayer and the entire Circulate Capital team! We have been named Impact Firm of the Year (Circular Economy) by New Private Markets! 2025 was a good year for the team, but this award is really a credit to our partners and the portfolio companies on the ground proving that circular solutions are both effective and bankable. It’s always good to take a moment to appreciate such recognition (it doesn't happen often). And, yet, there’s still a mountain of work ahead to scale packaging and materials businesses with growth capital and corporate partnerships. Resilient circular supply chains are ore important than ever for the future of high-growth markets. Thanks to everyone driving this mission with us and congrats to the other category winners driving impact across the industry: Ambienta, Andrew Kuper and LeapFrog Investments, Impact Partners, The Vistria Group, Regenerate Asset Management and Quadria Capital. We are honored to be part of this group!

Gloria Mirrione shared thisMargie Warrell, PhD thank you for sharing this horrific and heartbreaking change to Afghan law in 2026! So important for people of the world to know this issue is NOW not history! #powefulGloria Mirrione shared thisGender apartheid. Not my usual lane. But last week I sat in a room full of Afghan women, many quietly crying, as they watched a documentary of everything they'd fought for being systematically destroyed. And I felt compelled to write about it. The screening of The Sharp Edge of Peace by filmmaker Roya Sadat at the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security was heartbreaking. But far worse was learning that just last month the Taliban legalized the enslavement of women, leaving them with less legal protection than dogs. A husband who beats his wife into fractures? Fifteen days. Someone who makes animals fight? Five months. This is not history. This is TODAY. For millions women and girls who are no less deserving than you and me. I wrote this for Forbes because those of us with a voice owe it to those who could be imprisoned, flogged or worse for using their own. https://lnkd.in/eZgj9bhW Please consider how you can support these women - I share a list at the end of the article. #GenderApartheid #WomenPeaceSecurity #HumanRights #GenderViolence

Gloria Mirrione shared this#Compensation, #professionaladvancement and #thematicinsights are a few of the themes surveyed in this year’s Acre Sustainability Census. Click the link below to participate in the survey.Gloria Mirrione shared thisAre sustainability salaries keeping pace with expectations or just the workload? Acre & SLR Consulting's Sustainability Survey will go beyond pay to show how organisations are resourcing sustainability overall, from salaries and seniority to investment, accountability and decision-making power. The data will surface what is working, where ambition is outpacing support, and which skills and roles are shaping the future of the profession. We're working with Solidaridad Network, United Nations Global Compact, SustainabilityAfricaGroup, U.S. Green Building Council, ICRS | The Institute of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability, and more of the collected members of the European Association of Sustainability Professionals to ensure global perspectives are reflected.

Gloria Mirrione posted thisStarting Over: Back to Basics for Real Success 2026 began 11 days ago, and the pace of this year so far made me feel like I was shot out of a cannon! Immediately having to tidy my home, organize and declutter, many work meetings, immeasurable geopolitical events , and the looming question; what was your New Year’s resolutions? So I was stuck. What should I commit to? How much time do I have to reflect on it? It finally came to me; hitting the reset button and incorporating simplicity with back-to-basic steps in every facet of my life. There’s something powerful about pressing reset. In a fast-paced world where complexity often feels like progress, I’ve learned that real success starts with simplicity—the fundamentals that never go out of style. I began to think that starting over isn’t about losing ground; it’s about gaining clarity. It’s the courage to pause, strip away the noise, and there is an abundance of it, and reconnect with what truly matters. So focusing on the basics: building authentic relationships, communicating with purpose, and staying committed to excellence. These principles are the foundation for growth—whether leading a team, driving change, or navigating a career. So when feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or just asking the question of how to start off the new year? The answer could be... What are the core values and practices that got me here? Go back to them. Strengthen them. Build from there. Because when the basics are strong, everything else becomes possible. Here’s to starting over—not as a setback, but as a strategy for success.

Gloria Mirrione liked thisGloria Mirrione liked this📘 Discover how #ActiveOwnership sits at the heart of Mirova’s strategy 👉 https://lnkd.in/exzu2f-B In a fragmented world under growing natural and social constraints, the challenge is no longer whether #sustainability matters, but how it can be exercised with greater clarity, rigour and real‑world impact. At Mirova, we see #ActiveOwnership as a core component of our investment strategy. Engagement and voting are not adjuncts to capital allocation: they are strategic levers to address systemic risks, support credible #transition pathways and contribute to long‑term value creation. From #climate and #biodiversity to social cohesion and technological transformation, our approach combines structured dialogue, voting, methodological #innovation and #datadriven tools to strengthen the effectiveness of our engagements and measure their impact in the real economy. Because accelerating the transition is a collective responsibility, and because it can only succeed if it is both ambitious and just, we choose rigour, consistency and action. #SustainableFinance #ResponsibleInvestment #Engagement #ESG Philippe Zaouati Mathilde Dufour Louise Schreiber Manon Salomez Hervé Guez

Gloria Mirrione liked thisGloria Mirrione liked thisIndia is one of the most consequential markets in the world right now, and that's no accident. Capital, policy, and technology are aligning at scale in ways that are creating real opportunity. During a recent visit, our Chair and General Partner Howard Morgan, and General Partner Karan Mohla, sat down with Samidha Sharma to discuss the evolving AI landscape, market cycles, and where long-term value is being created. Howard's view: periods of over-optimism are a natural part of rapid innovation. What separates enduring companies is discipline and a commitment to solving real problems. For B Capital, India is more than a large consumer economy. It's a growing hub for globally relevant, infrastructure-led innovation, and a market we've been deeply committed to for years. We're excited to keep partnering with founders building from India, for the world. Read the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/e_fQJbe7

Gloria Mirrione liked thisStrong discussion last week in Brussels with FAO/ EDFI Management Company during a workshop on unlocking working capital finance for agrifood systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Many thanks to FAO Investment Centre and EDFI / AgriFI for bringing so many passionate actors around the same table, from DFIs, impact funds, commercial banks and agrifood companies. Sharing my key takeaways: 🚀 Scale is essential. In Côte d’Ivoire alone, peak working capital needs reach € 4.3bn in cocoa (2025, +50% YoY). Given the high transaction costs associated with working capital solutions, scale is the only way to close the gap. 🤝 Value‑chain partnerships matter to share risk and reduce information asymmetries: from producers to buyers, logistics providers and corporates committed to building more resilient value chains. ⚖️ Blended and risk‑sharing structures are critical to crowd more private capital into sustainable agriculture. Encouraging to see a shared conviction that we need to do more, together. Proud to see the Fairtrade Access Fund showcased as a proven, at‑scale working capital solution. 🤓 If you’re interested in reading more: • FAO IC – The dos and don’ts of blended finance in agrifood systems 👉 https://bit.ly/4d4MrM6 • FAO IC – Financing cocoa processing in Côte d’Ivoire: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHAkYhmY Thank you Alexandre Kaufmann Lionel Dieu Rodrigo Madrazo Garcia de Lomana, Ph.D Viwanou Gnassounou Nuno Santos Paul Buysens Perrine Duffaure Marc-Antoine Coursaget and many more for the engaging discussion Incofin Investment ManagementA look at financing opportunities for primary cocoa processing in Côte d’IvoireA look at financing opportunities for primary cocoa processing in Côte d’Ivoire

Gloria Mirrione liked thisGloria Mirrione liked thisSome of my favorite events are the ones that bring different parts of our ecosystem together. Last week's B Capital San Francisco office reopening reminded me why: the conversations are different when everyone in the room has skin in the game. We started the evening with a fireside conversation featuring Anton Orlich, Managing Investment Director at CalPERS and Jagdeep Bachher, CIO of the University of California Regents. The discussion spanned investing across public and private markets, navigating geopolitical and technological shifts, and maintaining a long-term perspective in the face of short-term volatility. Few people are better positioned to speak to that tension right now. You could feel it in the room. We closed the evening overlooking the Bay with a reception in our new San Francisco space followed by a small private dinner with select LPs and our portfolio company CEOs. I always come away from these gatherings energized. There's no better reminder of what this work is actually about than being in a room full of people who are in it together.

Gloria Mirrione liked thisGloria Mirrione liked thisAn unforgettable night welcoming our clients to The Metropolitan Museum of Art for a preview of "Raphael: Sublime Poetry" with Morgan Stanley as the presenting sponsor. Moments like this remind me that strong client relationships are built not only through insight and execution, but through shared experiences outside of the office that create space for thoughtful conversation and connection. We’re proud to support The Met in highlighting Raphael’s profound success and artistic achievement.
