About

We are the eco.business Fund 

A track record of protecting biodiversity and delivering for investors


The Fund aims to deliver diversified returns, while conserving biodiversity, and supporting climate change adaptation and mitigation. 
 

We achieve this by closing the financing gap in Latin America and Africa for agribusinesses.
 

We ensure businesses can access capital by lending to financial institutions. We also invest directly to businesses that are committed to sustainability. 
 

The fund was launched in 2014 and is advised by Finance in Motion.

Biodiversity conservation, alongside climate change mitigation and adaption, and responsible use of natural resources, is a fundamental pillar of the eco.business Fund’s holistic mission.
