Ambienta announced it has reached a final close for its Ambienta Sustainable Credit Opportunities vehicles, with total commitments across the strategy surpassing its original €500 million target. The firm said the credit platform is designed to support European mid-market companies whose growth is driven by environmental sustainability, and positions Ambienta to accelerate financing for “environmental champions” across the region.
The firm said the strategy drew commitments from more than 40 institutional investors spanning Europe, Asia, and North America, including pension funds, foundations, insurance companies, and family offices. Ambienta cited participation from investors including APG, the European Investment Fund, Fondazione ENPAM, Generali Asset Management, the UK Environment Agency Pension Fund, and VER, among others, pointing to rising demand for sustainability-aligned private credit solutions that pair environmental impact criteria with credit returns.
Ambienta said the strategy applies the firm’s sustainability expertise and proprietary environmental impact methodology to identify and finance mid-market businesses whose offerings measurably improve resource efficiency or pollution control. The firm reported that the credit team has screened nearly 600 deals across Europe and completed 13 investments, deploying approximately €300 million to date into companies with average double-digit EBITDA margins and average revenue growth of over 10%.
Ambienta framed the final close as a milestone that strengthens its position in sustainability-focused credit, as private credit becomes increasingly important for mid-market companies. The firm said it will continue partnering with management teams and equity holders, including private equity sponsors and corporates, to provide flexible capital solutions that deliver strong financial performance and measurable environmental outcomes.
