Natural Capital

Natural capital presents a compelling investment opportunity for funds responding to the increasing demand for sustainable finance. With opportunities in carbon sequestration, biodiversity and renewable energy, natural capital projects offer portfolio diversification, long-term value creation and alignment with ESG mandates. Our expertise helps to ensure efficient fund structuring, regulatory compliance and tax optimisation.

For private landowners, natural capital opens doors to diversified income streams through initiatives like renewable energy projects, biodiversity credits and carbon offsetting. Revenue stacking—layering income sources such as solar farms and habitat conservation—allows landowners to maximise financial returns while safeguarding land use. Whether guiding planning permissions, structuring environmental agreements or advising on the long-term impacts of land use changes, we help landowners unlock the potential of natural capital while preserving the value of their estates.

For many charities, natural capital aligns environmental sustainability with public benefit objectives, enhancing their ability to attract environmentally conscious donors. The support we provide to our charity clients includes advising on governance, regulatory compliance and structuring natural capital projects to ensure that they advance charitable missions while meeting legal obligations.

Natural capital enables corporate rural landowners to embed sustainability into land management while meeting regulatory and business objectives. Partnerships with local authorities and other stakeholders can drive impactful environmental projects, enhancing biodiversity and achieving carbon reduction targets. Our expert advice includes land use strategies, regulatory compliance and managing stakeholder relationships, ensuring sustainability initiatives align with operational and legal priorities.
