EcoEnterprises Fund

What is EcoEnterprises Fund?

For over two decades, EcoEnterprises Fund has spearheaded the cause of impact investing with a strong focus on biodiversity. Specializing in mezzanine financing, quasi-equity, and long-term debt instruments, they provide vital capital to catalyze growth in nature-based businesses.

These businesses include those engaged in regenerative agriculture, sustainable aquaculture, agro-forestry, ecotourism, certified forestry, and other emerging nature-positive sectors. EcoEnterprises Fund is not just another investment vehicle; it is a fund that operates under a deeply ingrained ethos of protecting natural capital, contributing to local economies, and supporting biodiversity. Their investment strategies are built around the idea that economic activities can and should be harmoniously integrated with the environment.

They have successfully supported 125,700 smallholder farmers, benefiting 682,400 local people and protecting an impressive 16.9 million acres of land. Their work in environmental preservation extends to sustainable forestry, ecotourism, and ocean-based businesses, all of which play pivotal roles in safeguarding ecosystems. Furthermore, EcoEnterprises Fund seeks to invest in businesses that drive innovation in sectors that are critical for climate solutions such as alternative proteins, clean energy access, the circular economy, and ag-tech.

The Fund also emphasizes social equity, with particular attention towards gender-inclusive and women-led companies. It nurtures partnerships with community businesses, including those that collaborate with Indigenous communities, to elevate incomes and foster a more equitable society.

By doing so, EcoEnterprises Fund not only echoes the voice for biodiversity but also reshapes the landscape of impact investing by tailoring finance to suit the needs of the environment and the people.
