About This Fund
Ambienta Small Cap Fund I is a €500 million private equity fund launched by Ambienta SGR in June 2025, surpassing its initial €450 million target due to strong investor demand. The fund focuses on investing in European small-cap companies that are environmental sustainability champions, particularly those with revenues up to €150 million. This strategy allows Ambienta to return to its roots of supporting smaller enterprises that align with long-term environmental trends.
The fund leverages Ambienta’s proprietary Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) tool and ESG in Action program to assess and enhance the sustainability performance of its portfolio companies. These tools ensure that investments contribute positively to resource efficiency and pollution control, aligning financial returns with environmental impact.
Deployment of the fund is led by a senior team initially based in Milan and Paris, with plans to expand across Ambienta’s European offices. The team includes experienced partners and advisors with deep sector expertise and local market knowledge, positioning the fund to identify and scale environmental champions effectively.
