About us

We are a mission-driven social enterprise, working in partnership with world-leading environmental organisations to protect and restore nature utilising finance and investment. We help create projects – and the investment vehicles to fund them – that balance positive outcomes for climate, nature, communities, and investors.

Introduction

Protecting and restoring our planet – and the people who depend on it – requires financial systems that ensure natural resources are used and shared in a fair, sustainable, and balanced way. Finance Earth exists to help build and support those systems.

Achieving this vision demands major shifts in behaviour across governments, financial institutions, corporate businesses, and communities. We believe finance is one of the most powerful tools to drive that change.

We work in partnership with project developers, governments, businesses, and NGOs to create investable environmental and social projects. At the same time, we work with a range of investors to structure financial products that can accelerate delivery of the right capital to the right activity.

We believe that change is possible, that problems can be solved, people can do better, and existing structures and systems can be evolved and challenged given sufficient commitment. Ours is a unique proposition, with an impressive track record of delivering results that work on the ground, not just in theory.
