The firm has accumulated approximately $1.2 billion in capital raised across platforms, with 90+ institutional investors, a 127,000-hectare land portfolio, 12 million trees planted annually, 25 million tonnes of expected CO2 sequestration, and 40,000+ jobs benefiting local communities. Its proprietary ESG framework and certifications (PRI, TCFD, Verra, BREEAM, WELL) underpin the impact thesis and have earned it consecutive Global Impact Fund Manager of the Year awards.
