Climate change, resource shortages, pollution, and the effects of increased urbanisation are increasing concerns both in Australia and globally. As a result, business, government, and the community are driving the use of more efficient and environmentally sustainable technologies and business practices to fuel future economic growth and reverse existing environmental damage.

The change in the way we manage our resources is leading to strong growth in infrastructure, technology and business models that reduce carbon emissions, improve efficiency and conserve natural resources, particularly in sectors such as energy, water, and materials.

We believe that significant investment opportunities exist as a result of these changes, particularly in high growth sectors such as energy, water, waste, materials, and agriculture. We believe the environmental sector remains an underdeveloped market with a strong growth profile.

CVC Sustainable Investments is dedicated to investing in expansionary companies operating in this market - businesses dedicated to addressing environmental problems, developing or utilising clean technologies or whose operations cause little or no environmental damage.

Our objective is to create a diversified investment portfolio that generates strong returns on invested capital while delivering meaningful and measurable environmental benefits.
