Connect your firm or investment funds with the world’s most impactful climate philanthropy.
Investors want to do something meaningful about climate change. But funds with a genuine commitment to sustainability often get lost in the crowd. And fund managers have limited options for investments that directly regenerate the planet – and thereby differentiate their products.
Meanwhile, philanthropy has a critical role to play in tackling climate change. But less than 2% of global philanthropic giving goes to climate mitigation efforts.
Help us build a bridge between these issues. Tackle two challenges with one innovative solution.
The Global Returns Portfolio is the first selection of effective and scalable philanthropic organisations tackling climate change.
Our ‘fund management’ approach to philanthropy means we embrace diversification, rigorous selection research and regular performance reporting. Our team of world-class climate scientists oversees the Portfolio’s selection and assessment.
Fund managers donate to the Global Returns Portfolio as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) action or donate regularly from the management fee of a specific product. The Global Returns Project (UK charity no. 1186683) runs the Portfolio. We charge no fees to participating fund managers and take no deductions from donations to the Portfolio.
1. Firm donates a portion of the management fee of an investment product to our Portfolio.
2. Firm donates to our Portfolio as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) action.
3. Firm donates to our Portfolio as a complement to an annual purchase of carbon offsets, or as an alternative. In your annual accounting of emissions, you can use an objective price as set by the regulated carbon credit market as a guide for determining an annual contribution to the Global Returns Portfolio.
