A return on capital, and a return on carbon. Our 2025/26 Sustainability Report sets out what it looks like to back the UK’s most promising early-stage climate technologies – and the impact taking shape across carbon abated, companies scaled and place-based impact in communities from Merseyside to Belfast.
Inside you’ll find:
- 19 portfolio companies (in CGF I) working to cut greenhouse gas emissions, on track for 46m tonnes CO₂e of cumulative abatement by 2030
- Over 600 people employed, all paid at least the Real Living Wage – with a third of portfolio jobs in the UK’s most deprived regions
- A 133.8 B Corp impact score, and contributions to 14 of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals
- Case studies, portfolio spotlights and transparent data on the impact we’re building as we head towards a second close for CGF II and target a final close of £150m in early 2027
“The transition to a clean economy is the largest economic opportunity of our generation – the wholesale reinvention of how the world makes energy, food, materials, chemicals and the things we use every day…
Security of supply, resilience and sovereign capability now sit alongside cost and carbon in every serious industrial decision. And the technologies that answer those concerns are, overwhelmingly, the same ones that cut emissions: homegrown clean power, domestic supply of critical materials, more efficient use of energy and resources.
Decarbonisation is no longer a trade off against national resilience, it is how we build it.“
