Natural Capital

Natural Capital

Palladium’s people-centered approach to Natural Capital integrates nature, climate, and economy to deliver inclusive growth, environmental restoration and improved livelihoods. We act as a catalyst, bringing together diverse stakeholders, both public and private, to align incentives, structure finance, and implement transformative solutions that drive systemic change. With over 60 years of experience, we design and scale market-driven approaches that create lasting impact for both people and the planet.

We believe that people, nature, and economies are inextricably linked. Solving today’s environmental crises requires systemic change that aligns incentives, mobilizes finance and empowers communities. Public funding and philanthropy alone are not enough —we need blended finance models that unlock private capital at scale. By working across sectors and bridging the gap between policy and investment, Palladium delivers solutions that regenerate landscapes, enhance biodiversity, and create sustainable livelihoods. Our mission is to catalyze a future where nature and prosperity go hand in hand.

WHO WE WORK WITH

We work with investors, governments, companies and land managers who share our goal to contribute to the fight against climate change and restore nature at scale. We help investors to develop a natural capital pipeline of projects and to assess their natural capital plans and structures. We offer companies the opportunity to contribute to net zero goals and other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments through large-scale ecosystem service projects. We create investment opportunities for public and private finance to help seed fund and scale natural capital initiatives. We design and apply data tools to track, analyse, and demonstrate the impact that our partners have helped to create.

Our Solutions
  • Designing and delivering natural capital projects
  • Working with investors to unlock natural capital finance
  • Valuing nature

We are helping the private sector to address the financing gap for nature restoration. However, a key barrier is the lack of an investable pipeline of natural capital projects. That’s why we support project developers around the world to turn their conservation ambitions into investable business models. Our expert team maps, designs and supports the scale-up of innovative regenerative business models across temperate and tropical regions. We use a combination of world-class project development expertise and concessional capital to nurture business models to the point of being able to attract private investment.
