Our Goal

Many high-impact climate-smart solutions are relatively young, require focused local expertise and community engagement, and need patient funding and consistent technical assistance to scale pilot projects into attractive investment opportunities for larger investors.  These needs are often overlooked by traditional investors who typically prefer to invest in large scale projects developed by established development partners, often at the expense of local participation and innovation.  

ABREN expands client participation in this market by streamlining investment due diligence, project structuring and financing strategies in order to access high impact markets, while achieving appropriate risk adjusted returns for investors.

Our Impact

Impact is more than just an asset class. We each have a role to play - investors, developers, entrepreneurs and community members - to build a vibrant and resilient future.

At ABREN, we challenge ourselves every day to ask:

  1. How does our work mitigate climate change and restore ecosystems

  2. Are risk adjusted financial returns for investors aligned

  3. How are we building more connected resilient communities of families earning meaningful livelihoods

  4. How do our programs and management honor integrity, humanity and justice

Sustainability balances stakeholder needs over the long term and multiple generations.

  • Environmentally regenerative or neutral 

  • Promotes dignified livelihoods and shared prosperity

  • Competitive risk adjusted returns 

  • Distributed solutions diversify portfolio risk, create jobs, and reduce burdens on centralized infrastructure 

Abren focuses on Sustainable Infrastructure that transforms ecosystems and builds resilient communities and economies, while creating prosperity for investors and stakeholders.  Infrastructure projects address essential ecosystem services provided by biodiverse water and land habitats, alongside sustainable human adaptation in the built environment.  This includes projects in water protection, efficiency, and management, renewable energy, food and agriculture, waste reduction and recovery, and housing and green buildings.
