Impact
We have a GHG+ impact philosophy.
The technology of each company that we invest in has the potential to reduce at least 50 million tons of CO²e annually by 2050. While greenhouse gas emission reduction is our first priority; we look for additionality in other impact dimensions.

Planetary Boundaries
We back solutions that operate within Earth’s ecological limits, recognizing that long-term prosperity depends on stable natural systems.

Nature & Ecosystems
We support projects that regenerate natural systems, from restoring soil and water health to reducing pollution, waste, and plastic. Protecting biodiversity is central to building environmental resilience and lasting value.
SDGs
We invest in companies that advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals, creating impact that goes beyond climate. This includes driving progress in education, equality, innovation, and inclusion, ensuring a broader contribution to global priorities.
