Our goal is to scale companies that are driving an inclusive transition to a low carbon economy globally, while also achieving strong returns for our investors. We target innovative businesses that reduce waste and emissions, use resources in a circular manner, and/or expand access to basic products and services for underserved consumers, especially financial services. The broader Nuveen platform has been a pioneer in impact investing, with a long track record of driving strong financial results and a positive influence for society’s pressing problems.
