Concrete SFDR Article 9 private market solution

Through a joint venture with Canada-based Fondaction Asset Management, we are developing a closed-end investment platform that offers risk-adjusted returns and restores nature by transitioning existing farm and forestland to regenerative practices. This real asset strategy will focus on North America and Western Europe and be open to institutional and other professional investors.

We classify this solution as SFDR Article 9.

Our solution delivers measurable outcomes. We set clear and robust social and environmental impact targets underpinned by rigorous data, monitoring and verification from expert partners. This approach ensures your investment achieves genuine, quantifiable impact for people, climate and biodiversity.
