London, United Kingdom: The Sustainable Markets Initiative’s Natural Capital Investment Alliance (NCIA) Industry Hub announced today that Bregal Investments will be joining its members, growing the Hub to 18.

The international private equity firm, Bregal Investments will be working with the NCIA Hub via its impact investing platform, Bregal Sphere . First launched in October 2022, Bregal Sphere aims to invest targeted capital to help address key societal and environmental challenges in a responsible and sustainable way.

Bregal Sphere Nature, the first strategy launched under Bregal Sphere, is a dedicated natural capital strategy focused on investments in high-quality Nature-based solutions - that help protect and restore Nature, address climate change and biodiversity loss, and improve livelihoods for local communities in an holistic fashion. The strategy will predominantly focus on investments within agricultural supply chains, alongside high-quality reforestation projects in adjacent landscapes and mangrove restoration projects.

The Hub’s growing membership demonstrates the growing interest in natural capital as a mainstream investment opportunity. The Sustainable Markets Initiative has long understood the role Nature can play in helping to address the climate and biodiversity crisis, and sits at the core of its guiding mandate, the Terra Carta .

The addition of Bregal Investments to the NCIA will help to strengthen and further drive the work of the Hub, as it continues to engage the global investment management industry and scale private sector capital into the Natural Capital asset class.
