      Natural Capital and Sustainable Investment

      Investment opportunities generating returns in harmony with environmental outcomes are on the rise. We’ll help you to navigate the UK’s natural capital and sustainable investment markets with a focus on nature-based and climate resilient solutions.

      Play our video to hear how managing land and property to deliver optimum environmental outcomes is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes more economic sense:

      Investment is being viewed through a new environmental lens. Funds seeking sustainable ventures are channelling capital into land-based assets with natural capital potential - but the market is still young. We’ll cut through the noise and help you to monetise the opportunities available.

      Our UK-wide land and property networks provide a vital link between landowners and investors serious about playing a long-term role in this nascent marketplace. With detailed practical experience of managing the risks and liabilities associated with this novel marketplace, we’ll help you deliver the optimum environmental outcomes and boost long-term returns.

      Our detailed knowledge of the contractual and financial frameworks required to monetise natural capital value will help realise the full potential of your assets in this emerging market.

      Let us guide you through the emerging contractual and financial frameworks you need in place to maximise natural capital value and secure an environmental scheme.

      Carbon Capture

      In 2019, the UK and Scottish Governments made their commitments to net zero, with target dates of 2050 and 2045 respectively. Relatively, both countries are progressing well, with emissions falling faster than in other major developed economies.
