SC Ventures, ENGIE Factory back conservation financing venture

The venture is expected to launch this year.

SC Ventures and ENGIE Factory have teamed up to invest in a venture that aims to fill the financing gap in conservation projects through carbon credits.

“Sustainability is part of our four high-conviction themes at SC Ventures — investing in conservation is not only a societal imperative but also a smart business decision,” SC Ventures CEO Alex Manson said in a statement.

SC Ventures is Standard Chartered’s innovation, fintech investment, and ventures arm, while ENGIE Factory is the startup studio of the ENGIE Group.

The parties will utilise technology in identifying and evaluating conservation projects globally, which will allow investments to come into these projects.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
