Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to sustainable investing, announces a $10 million investment in Big Tree Farms, a leading producer of organic coconut sugar products in Indonesia. This transaction, executed through Mirova's Sustainable Land Use strategy, aims to reshape supply chains, scaling sustainable sourcing and strengthening operational resilience across Asia.

A FULLY INTEGRATED MODEL SUPPORTING SMALLHOLDER FARMERS & SUSTAINABILITY

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Burlington, Vermont (USA), Big Tree Farms has built a vertically integrated value chain sourcing from 17,000 smallholder farmers in Java, Indonesia. From on-farm sourcing to processing at its Sukoharjo facility and exporting to the United States, the company ensures traceability and quality at every stage. Big Tree Farms is a recognized leader in North America, serving both Business-to-Consumer channels (Whole Foods, Sprouts) and Business-to-Business clients, proving that responsible supply chains can compete at scale.

HIGH-IMPACT INVESTMENT FOR SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION

Mirova's investment will enable Big Tree Farms to expand its farmer network to 25,000 and double production capacity, while embedding regenerative practices into every link of the supply chain.

Key priorities include:

• Streamlining payment cycles for farmers
• Reducing logistics costs through on-farm pre-processing
• Providing technical training to boost yields and quality
• Starting in 2028, allocating additional capital expenditure to expand and upgrade production facilities
• Diversifying distribution channels, including food service

By the end of the investment period, Big Tree Farms aims to increase sustainably managed land from 1,400 to 6,000 hectares and grow the share of raw materials certified Fair for Life and USDA Organic.

ALIGNMENT WITH NATIONAL PRIORITIES AND MIROVA'S IMPACT STRATEGY

This partnership supports Indonesia's transition towards more sustainable food systems and advances Mirova's impact strategy on sustainable land use, climate resilience, and biodiversity preservation. Big Tree Farms is implementing an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) and is committed to strengthening farmer capacity-building to ensure long-term resilience.

Antoine Raes, Investment Director, Mirova: "This investment in Big Tree Farms demonstrates our belief in the power of sustainable land use to deliver positive environmental and social outcomes, while marking another important step in Mirova's expansion across Asia. By supporting innovative models rooted in organic and regenerative practices, we are strengthening our presence in the region and helping build resilient, future-proof supply chains for local communities."

Ben Ripple, Founder/Chief Executive Officer, Big Tree Farms: "This investment allows us to lean fully into our vision for the future of food—one rooted in regenerative land use, thriving farmer communities, and resilient ecosystems. With aligned, long-term capital, we can scale a supply chain that restores the land while creating lasting economic opportunity for smallholder farmers. Just as importantly, it enables us to demonstrate that responsible, regenerative business models can scale and compete across global markets."
