Investment proposition

Institutional capital with place-based impact.

Where restoration delivers measurable ecosystem services, such as lower flood risk, more reliable water and cleaner rivers, we contract with the organisations that depend on them, creating revenues that institutional capital can be deployed against.

Target return

10% net IRR

Target only. Returns are not guaranteed and may not be achieved. Capital is at risk.

  • Financial returns

    Targets income-style returns from long-term contracted cash flows, without relying on an asset sale to realise value.

  • Diversification

    Revenues are linked to the physical performance of restored landscapes and the contracts that pay for it, rather than to listed-market cycles.

  • Portfolio resilience

    Restoration can reduce physical climate risk in catchments where investors' existing property, infrastructure and utility holdings are exposed.

  • Place-based impact

    Capital can be directed locally, regionally or nationally, with measured economic, natural and social outcomes.

  • Scale

    Designed to operate across UK catchments, where larger restoration areas spread fixed costs and support more services, buyers and revenues.

Our mission

Building a resilient Britain.

Britain's water is becoming more volatile: too much, too little, too dirty. Flooding, drought and pollution already disrupt railways, roads, homes, farms, energy networks and water supply. Restoring the landscapes around that infrastructure is one of the most direct ways to make it more resilient.

Too much

Our view

Nature is critical infrastructure.

Natural assets support economic assets. Food, energy, housing, transport, water and health all rely on natural systems.

Economic assets — Food, Energy, Housing, Transport, Water, Health — all depend on natural assets: Rivers and wetlands, Woodland, Soils, Farmland, Coasts and catchments.

Our insight

Degraded catchments are a liability. Restored catchments are an asset.

Degraded landscapes create environmental, operational and financial risks. Restoration reduces each one.

Degraded

Degraded catchment

Environmental risk

Flooding, drought and poorer water quality

Operational risk

Disrupted transport, energy and water networks

Financial risk

Losses, higher insurance and repair costs

Restored

Restored catchment

Environmental risk reduced

Water slowed, stored and cleaned

Operational risk reduced

More reliable networks and supply

Financial risk reduced

Lower losses and more predictable costs
