Like fund managers, we rigorously measure our portfolio and expect real, identifiable returns. But this is not an investment fund. Not-for-profits don't generate wealth — they regenerate the planet.

Instead of delivering financial returns, they deliver 'Global Returns': the environmental results that your employees/ customers/clients/investors/children/grandchildren expect. A contribution to our Portfolio makes it easy to exceed the impacts of offsetting or ESG. It offers reliable and well-reported results.

THE FUNDAMENTAL
SDGS

THE PORTFOLIO ADDRESSES THREE OF THE FOUR FUNDAMENTAL UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

  • SDG 13: CLIMATE ACTION
  • SDG 14: life below water
  • SDG 15: life on land

The Portfolio is run by the Global Returns Project: a UK registered charity (number 1186683). We direct 100% of contributions to the not-for-profits comprising the Portfolio, with no deductions. Our operating costs are funded separately by our Trustees and a number of charitable trusts, foundations and individual donors. Annual contributions by UK taxpayers or limited companies in the UK may be eligible for Gift Aid and tax efficient.

CLIMATE ACTION

Introducing the first portfolio of diverse, effective and scalable not-for-profits tackling climate change, curated by experts. The Global Returns Portfolio regenerates the planet beyond the capacity of ESG and offsetting.

We've made it easy to embed the Portfolio into every asset allocation strategy, ESG investment fund and corporate sustainability policy.
