OnePlanetCapital, a new sustainably driven investment house, has launched a specialist sustainability EIS Fund to invest in businesses tackling climate change.
The new OnePlanetCapital Sustainable EIS Fund is broad-based, targeting investments that will tackle climate change and supporting businesses with a positive environmental impact. It aims to deliver industry leading returns whilst only backing companies and projects that will genuinely benefit the environmental prospects of the UK and the wider planet.
The fund will focus on three interrelated areas. Firstly, climate change, focused on companies taking steps to tackle emissions, ie through renewable energy, energy efficiency & transport. Secondly, environmental factors, looking at firms with a positive environmental impact including agricultural technology, pollution management or bio-diversity. Lastly, consumer sustainability, for example, food companies that reduce climate change and environmental impact, fashion companies that reduce C02 emissions and pollution, or businesses in the recycling space.
