General description of organisation
Carnot Capital manages the equity funds Carnot Efficient Energy and Carnot Efficient Resources. We buy stocks of listed companies with products and technologies, that lower the consumption of natural resources. Due to rising scarcity and increasing environmental problems, those companies profit from structural growth opportunities. We only invest in established, profitable companies with strong balance sheets. Carnot Impact Investing is a blended approach, which differentiates itself through financial as well as social performance and by combining these two qualities and revealing the positive effects they have achieved (impact from ESG & SDG mapping).
Reason for membership with SSF
Impact investing is not a matter of pure philanthropy. The selection of companies by means of impact criteria can be carried out in the context of value based investment process. However, in addition to basic data, a qualitative analysis of the companies must also be carried out to find attractive investment opportunities. These analysis procedures are essential to Carnot’s impact investing process. Carnot is looking for a platform to discuss and develop this process in cooperation with other like-minded organizations and individuals.
