Empowering Corporations to Thrive in a Water-Scarce Future

Navigating the Changing Tides of Water Stewardship

As the global landscape of water resources continues to evolve, corporations are recognizing the urgent need to prioritize water stewardship. Earth Finance's acquisition of Water Foundry, a Denver-based global water consultant, marks a significant step in their mission to equip clients with the tools and expertise to navigate this complex terrain. By integrating Water Foundry's specialized knowledge in water scarcity and quality strategies, Earth Finance is empowering its clients to understand the profound impact of water on their operations and leverage nature as a strategic asset on their balance sheets.

Quantifying the Value of Nature

The partnership with Water Foundry has also enabled Earth Finance to deepen its understanding of the intrinsic value that nature holds for businesses. "Increasingly, corporations are understanding and quantifying the value of nature for their business," says Will Sarni, the former head of Water Foundry, who will now join the Earth Finance team. This shift in perspective is crucial as companies strive to build nature-based strategies that align with their sustainability goals and long-term resilience.

Navigating the Complexities of Water and Nature-Based Strategies

With the acquisition of Water Foundry, Earth Finance is poised to guide its clients through the intricacies of water and nature-based strategies. "We're building these capabilities so that we can help them navigate the complexities of those decisions," explains Garrett Kephart, the co-founder of Earth Finance. By leveraging their expanded expertise, the company aims to empower corporations to make informed, strategic decisions that harness the power of nature to drive sustainable growth.

Expanding Horizons: Renewable Fuels and Low-Carbon Transport

The acquisition of Molecule, a Seattle-based company, has further strengthened Earth Finance's domain expertise, enabling the firm to provide comprehensive solutions that address the evolving needs of its clients. By integrating Molecule's specialized knowledge in renewable fuels and low-carbon transport, Earth Finance is now equipped to offer a holistic approach to sustainability, empowering its clients to navigate the complex landscape of decarbonization and clean energy.

Forging a Path Towards Climate Finance

As Earth Finance continues to build out its advisory business, the company is also setting its sights on carving out a niche in climate, water, and nature-based financing. "We've been involved in the energy tax credit transfer marketplace and we're starting to move towards being more like a boutique investment merchant bank," reveals Kephart. This strategic shift positions Earth Finance to play a pivotal role in the burgeoning climate finance landscape, providing innovative financing solutions to support the transition towards a sustainable future.

Scaling Impact through Strategic Investments

Looking ahead, Earth Finance aims to establish a dedicated capital arm that will enable the company to invest at a larger scale on its own balance sheet. "Long term, we'll be building a capital arm where we can invest at a larger scale on our balance sheet," Kephart adds. This move will empower Earth Finance to amplify its impact, channeling resources towards projects and initiatives that align with its mission of driving sustainable transformation across industries.
