Collaborating to advance nature-positive investment solutions
By harnessing the power of multi-stakeholder investment, we’re driving new sources of finance into large-scale nature-based solutions that rejuvenate the environment while offering tangible benefits to the economy and society.
This approach catalyses sustainable business investment in priority landscapes.
We use expertise and science to connect up the traditional smaller piecemeal project approach, and scale it up across a much larger area.
This amplifies the impact of the investment, with each investment offering carefully designed to ensure that it delivers a host of co-benefits including environmental, economic, social and cultural benefits.
Each landscape-scale offering provides investors with a genuine way of meeting their corporate sustainability and ESG commitments.
We’re building a coalition of the willing - uniting government, private sector, industry, and community partners - to establish a scalable model for environmental investment that’s good for biodiversity, climate, and people.
A truly cross-sector driven approach

"A new approach to age-old problems!
Serious attempts to improve the receiving waters of Moreton Bay and its feeder catchments were initiated with the publication “The Brisbane River: A Source Book for the Future” in 1990. After many unsuccessful “top down” approaches, the ENVestor initiative is positioned to address the issues in a unique and fresh approach that will bring into play the important catchment management principles of: cooperation, collaboration, coalition, commitments, coordination, catchments and choice."
