Significant Close for Bureau Veritas After Greenfin Acquisition
Bureau Veritas closed the session on Thursday, January 15 at 27.46 euros, up by 1.78% from the previous day's close of 26.98 euros. This increase positioned the group among the top performers in the CAC 40 on that day. Trading remained moderate with only 0.18% of the capital exchanged during the session. The rebound occurred following the announcement by the group of the acquisition of Greenfin's labeling activity from Caisse des Dépôts. Established by the Ministry of Ecological Transition in 2015 during COP 21, the Greenfin label is the first state-dedicated label for green finance. This move allows Bureau Veritas to take over an activity representing 50 already labeled funds, including those managed by companies such as HSBC Global Asset Management, Crédit Mutuel Asset Management, and RGreen Invest. The acquisition positions Bureau Veritas as a key player in the sustainable finance sector in France.
