Investing in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement
Designing new opportunities to finance the transition
Pollination has partnered with HSBC Global Asset Management with the ambition to create the world’s largest dedicated natural capital asset management company.
The joint venture intends to establish a series of natural capital funds, investing in a diverse range of activities that preserve, protect and enhance nature over the long-term, and address climate change. Investment themes will include:
- Regenerative and sustainable agriculture
- Sustainable forestry
- Oceans, including sustainable fisheries, coastal restoration and blue carbon
- Biodiversity and wildlife protection and restoration
- Natural capital and real assets that generate carbon credits
These funds will make Australian and global investments, in line with the goal of the Paris Agreement.
Measurable, additional and long-term impact is a fundamental principle of the investment approach. Each investment opportunity will be evaluated against high environmental standards, and needs to demonstrate the potential to deliver positive environmental impacts over its lifetime.
