Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund

Overview

Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund is a private equity fund that provides long-term capital to a diversified portfolio of leading sustainable food companies across Europe. The fund focuses on accelerating the transition to ecologically and socially resilient food and agriculture systems by investing in companies that contribute to balanced ecosystems, a healthy society, and inclusive prosperity. By adopting an evergreen fund model, it remains invested in companies without the pressure of an exit, thereby supporting them to achieve their long-term environmental, social, and financial goals. The fund takes significant minority or majority equity stakes in privately owned companies that are mission-aligned, pioneering in their industry, and challenging mainstream food companies to be more sustainable. The typical investment size ranges from EUR 3 to 10 million. Its portfolio includes companies such as KoRo, a Berlin-based bulk food and snacking brand focused on transparency and fair prices; JetDrinks, a Netherlands-based importer, distributor, producer, and brand owner of environmentally and health-conscious drinks and food products; and Ocean Rainforest, a sustainable aquaculture company cultivating seaweed in the Faroe Islands. Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund's investment philosophy is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). The fund aims to promote healthy soil, biodiversity, and organic production and consumption, supporting a more inclusive and prosperous food chain. By investing in companies that lead innovation and impact in the transition to resilient, sustainable, and fair food systems, the fund plays a catalytic and innovative role in the food sector, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable global food system.
