The UK’s development finance institution is funding the new project alongside logistics company DP World. The port will become the single gateway for imports and exports of containers in the DRC.
The deputy CEO of BlueOrchard Finance and impact head at Schroders Capital shares her vision for impact investing and where she sees the greatest opportunities.
The funding aims to target carbon reduction across Asia, with a focus on Vietnam and India’s energy transition, looking at areas such as renewable energy, electric mobility and energy efficiency.
The funding will accelerate the development of new home energy products and expansion across Europe, as the firm says it wants to help three million households transition to sustainable energy by 2030.
The fund will provide unitranche funding to French and European SMEs, while encouraging the companies they finance to take account of environmental and social concerns.
The funding will support the growth of Swiss-based carbon removal developer Neustark which has developed a technology aimed at decarbonising the construction industry.
British International Investment, the UK’s development finance institution, is funding a second green bond arranged by Symbiotics, lending to MSME banks supporting India’s green energy goals.
