      Carbon Investment

      We join the dots helping to unlock innovative projects and deliver our client’s green objectives.

      Carbon Investment

      Acting on behalf of either carbon investors (buyer) or landowners (seller), we join the dots helping to unlock innovative projects and deliver our client’s green objectives.

      We have deep experience and knowledge of the land markets and an ability to rigorously assess a landholding for its natural capital and carbon potential. Our expertise in native woodland creation, peatland restoration and biodiversity uplift are all brought to bear when scoping an asset for natural capital opportunities. 

      Investors, corporate bodies and businesses looking to mitigate their climate impact come to us because we go the extra mile to ensure a project is the right fit to realise their green ambition. We have access to landholdings and deploy keen negotiation skills on or off market. 

      We secure investments that deliver more than just carbon credits, helping our clients to fulfil their wider ESG goals by ensuring that biodiversity and social benefits are baked into their natural capital projects.

      With contacts across the UK, our due diligence specialists respond quickly to secure natural capital opportunities when they come to the fore.
