Sustainable finance for sustainable projects
More and more investors are looking for sustainable investments. They want to make sure that their money will be used for projects that bring value to the world and their communities, like e.g. protecting the environment, developing renewable energy or supporting social inclusion. The proceeds of a Green Schuldschein, just like the one of green bonds or other green loans, can exclusively be invested into projects that are considered to be sustainable. To ensure the good use of the funds provided, green loans are frequently certified by a Second Party Opinion (SPO).
In alignment with Encevo’s strategy and sustainability vision, the company issued in 2018 a Green Schuldschein of EUR 250 million to finance and refinance projects in the field of either renewable energy, energy transmission, distribution & smart grid, sustainable real estate or clean transportation solutions. All these projects contribute to the group’s overall sustainability strategy related to greenhouse gas emissions reduction, renewable energy and improvements in the efficiency of energy infrastructure.
Encevo is very proud to have been awarded the mtn-I “Deal of the Year” for issuing the largest Green Schuldschein 2018. The goal of mtn-i awards is to recognise where the MTN (« Mid-Term Note ») market has created most value for issuers, dealers and investors as it keeps adapting and evolving solutions that meet their needs.
Geared towards the future, the Encevo Group has already deployed a number of innovative solutions across its markets. Our efforts toward the energy transition provide bold opportunities to develop dynamic partnerships with innovative and fast-growing companies. With this in mind, our in-house venture investment capabilities are geared at enforcing ties with early stage companies.
Beyond investment, the Corporate Venture Capital team is also an access point for startups who want to partner on project and solutions, thereby supporting Encevo Group’s open innovation approach
Each year, we plan to perform a limited number of direct, hand-picked, equity investments into European ventures during their international expansion stage – usually referred to as a Series A funding round – accelerating their initial market traction.
We focus on targets enforcing strategic connections with the Group’s operations, while investing as co-lead or follow-on investor alongside like-minded international partners – and, last but not least ensuring market-leading return on our portfolio.
Our areas of interest cover our entire value chain, from up to downstream:
The following sub-topics, which are regularly reviewed, include:
– Smart Grid, including for example drone inspection of overhead lines;
– Demand Side Management / Virtual Power Plant;
– Energy efficiency for industrials;
– Battery storage;
– Hydrogen and Power-to-X.
We foster cooperation not only between our business units and our portfolio companies (at the right intersect of maturity) but also across our portfolio companies, when relevant. Such should be considered as a strategic complement to the potential that our portfolio companies will organically develop aside from our input.
