As Redwood Grove has grown, we’ve heard increased interest from our client and allocator community on how asset managers can be steering their portfolio towards a net zero transition. Our 2024 Impact report shares our thinking on this, as well as the differentiating framework Redwood Grove has always had in evaluating the financial impact of climate change on our portfolio companies in parallel with deep fundamental analysis. Compared to the prior reporting period, our portfolio’s net zero alignment and carbon efficiency measures improved, with 72% of our portfolio classified as Aligning or Aligned with net zero goals and an additional 13% of portfolio comprised of clean tech companies. Read more about the climate stories for each of our portfolio companies and our net zero reporting.
