Financial Services/Banks
The financial services sector has a unique exposure to environmental markets because of its multiple points of contact with a wide range of clients - infrastructure projects, real estate development, forestry and agriculture pursuits and direct consumers, among others. Many clients have potentially large environmental and climate change impacts. New Forests's expertise in structured finance and service delivery could allow for the development of innovative products that deliver carbon neutral financing or investment options in environmental funds and assets. New Forests can work with financial institutions to create such value-add services and help structure new kinds of investment in the environmental asset class.
