Growing awareness of the environmental challenges facing our planet provides considerable growth opportunities to companies that invest in clean technology. The Edmond de Rothschild Group advises these companies and helps them to finance their projects.
A partnership offering specialist advice
The Edmond de Rothschild Group has signed a partnership with BeCitizen, a leading environmental and strategic consulting group. This partnership allows both sides to take a multidisciplinary approach that is both technical and financial. Analysing the environmental impact of companies and the technology they use is at the heart of the venture. The financial aspects serve to ensure the necessary means are available for the development and distribution of innovative projects.
Thematic investment funds
The Edmond de Rothschild Group actively assists project designers be they private individuals, industrial concerns or institutions. These services go beyond strategic advice. They involve creating investment funds for listed stocks or private equity and for SRI investment formulae to meet growing institutional and private client demand.
The Peace Parks Foundation, a lasting commitment in Africa
The Peace Parks Foundation’s mission is to harmoniously reconcile nature conservation and socio-economic development. Peace Parks are protected reserves that stretch beyond national frontiers in Africa. They offer sustainable and efficient alternatives to more traditional agriculture (subsistence agriculture, hunting and uncontrolled forestry for example). Tourism is a key factor in the project’s success as it involves local populations with the management of hotels and the running of animal reserves.
Baron Edmond de Rothschild lent his support to this ambitious project from its very beginnings in 1997. He was one of the sponsors and international ambassadors for the project.
The Peace Parks Fund has since benefited from the active support of the Fondations Edmond et Benjamin de Rothschild which share the same goal of sustainable development, environmental conservation, education and training.
