VISION
Upside Green Investments (UGI) is dedicated to demonstrating the power of private capital in helping to secure a better, cleaner and sustainable environment. We nurture partnerships by creating the world’s best platform to invest in businesses and entities that operate in the fields of renewable energy, resource optimization and reduction of environmental waste as well as combating climate change.
OUR BELIEFS
Protecting the environment is essential for the quality of life of current and future generations. The challenge is to combine this with continuing economic growth in a way which is sustainable over the long term. We are of the belief that high environmental standards stimulate innovation and create business opportunities. Economic, social and environmental policies are closely integrated and have significant potential.
​
Once dismissed as irrelevant or even a detractor from good investment returns, there is a growing body of evidence that shows this approach actually contributes to better returns over the long run. The logic is if management is paying attention to ESG issues, they probably are paying attention to all the details of their business and are likely to be running it better. On the other hand, companies that ignore ESG issues may be taking risky shortcuts that could lead to lower long-term value and much higher legal and reputational costs.
