#TBT from the “Path to COP30” event! In February, GEF Capital brought together investors, experts, and leaders from the sustainability sector to discuss Brazil's strategic role in the global climate agenda. It was a moment of idea exchange and forward-looking vision, with everyone aligned on the importance of positioning Brazil as a key player in the climate transition. The conversation didn’t end there! We’re ready to keep pushing forward with this movement, getting closer to COP30 every day. The path is clear, and the future is green! #Sustainability #Investment #COP30 #GEF #Brazil #GreenFuture #Innovation #SustainableGrowth

Sustainability is one of the core pillars guiding our work at GEF. Beyond our investments, we are proud to support the spring restoration project in the state of S?o Paulo. We have successfully planted 7,200 seedlings across six springs located on properties in Cachoeira Paulista and Cruzeiro. The work was carefully planned to align with the rainy season, ensuring greater efficiency in seedling development. These springs are now in the maintenance phase, with interventions such as chemical weeding, crowning, fence maintenance, and ant control. All activities are carried out under the supervision of an agronomist, who monitors the project's progress and ensures that each restored spring receives the necessary care to become a healthy and sustainable water source. At GEF, we believe that every action can drive significant change—that’s why we continue investing in projects that make a difference. #GEF #Sustainability #EnvironmentalPreservation #SpringRestoration #Environment

Our belief when we made investments in three of our portfolio companies – InSite, Next Step Energy Solutions, and AtSite Solutions, was that each one individually provided innovative solutions to drive operational excellence that potentially resulted in cost savings, energy efficiencies, and optimization of facilities. We also had an inkling there was more we could accomplish if we all worked together. Last week, GEF Capital’s U.S. office hosted our first Energy Efficiency Forum, focused on Healthcare, bringing these three portfolio companies together to discuss challenges and opportunities in enabling powerful energy solutions for hospitals. It’s fair to say we were energized by the insightful conversations and creative ideas that flowed out of this powerful meeting of the minds!

The global climate transition requires a strategic redistribution of resources to emerging markets, where the potential for impact is immense, but financing remains scarce. According to the GIINsight (The Global Impact Investing Network) 2023 Series, 74% of global investors are concentrated in developed countries. The good news? 69% of investors plan to increase investments in clean energy over the next five years, and 60% will expand resources in sustainable agriculture. These sectors are key pillars for the socioeconomic development of emerging markets, where the demand for infrastructure and efficient food systems is urgent. At GEF, we are aligned with this vision. We invest in sectors such as clean energy, sustainable agribusiness, and a healthy food supply chain. Our mission is to turn data into action and aim to ensure that resources reach those who need them most to generate positive and scalable impact. #ImpactInvesting #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #SustainableAgribusiness #GEF #EmergingMarkets

GEF Capital Partners brought together investors, experts, and leaders in the private market and sustainability sector at the "Path to COP30" event to discuss the future of climate investments in Brazil and worldwide. One point was clear: We believe Brazil holds a strategic position in this global agenda. Brazil should aim to be at the center of global discussions on economic growth and climate transition—not only as the host of COP30 but as a protagonist in solutions. Thank you to all investors, partners, and speakers for sharing this debate with us.?This is merely the beginning. Let’s move forward towards COP30! #Sustainability #Investment #Climate #GEF #Brazil #Energy #Mobility #Sanitation #SustainableGrowth #Business”

Brazil has gained a significant position on the global stage when it comes to investments in climate solutions, attracting companies from across continents. According to Brazil’s Finance Minister, Fernando Haddad, the country indeed has the capacity to fuel the world’s energy transition. A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimates that Brazil has the potential to attract between USD 2.6 trillion and USD 3 trillion in investments by 2050. The country could become a global reference for an economy based on climate solutions, with strong initiatives in regenerative agriculture, biofuels, low-emission industries, and nature-based solutions (NBS) like sustainable management and ecosystem restoration. As a leading asset manager in climate solutions, GEF has been actively working to help transform this landscape, guiding entrepreneurs and leading discussions to assist drive Brazil’s leadership in sustainable business. #GreenEconomy #Brazil #ClimateSolutions #GEF #GreenInvestments

Last week, the GEF US team took a break from our quarterly strategy meeting to give back to the community at Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). ? Spending time supporting AFAC’s mission reminded us that while business strategy is essential, so is contributing to the well-being of the communities we operate in. We packed oranges to be later distributed to families in need, and it was great to experience and enjoy the power of teamwork beyond the office. ? A big thank you to AFAC for the incredible work they do every day to fight food insecurity.

“Why, you may ask, are we serving fried Oreos?” ?No, they were not at a state fair, and no, they were not sponsoring the snack table at International District Energy Association’s Campus Energy Conference in Boston. But our friends from portfolio company Lifecycle Renewables, Inc. were tastefully sharing their value proposition with curious attendees. When you collect used cooking oil from restaurants, convert it to renewable biofuel, and use it to heat cities and campuses, why not create your own supply by frying some Oreos?!
