We build future energy systems and resilient infrastructure, backing emerging opportunities in technology, land and water.
The Eden Project Partnership
We are partnering with the Eden Project to highlight the role businesses have to play in combatting the nature and climate crises.According to the State of Finance for Nature report, a total investment in nature of USD 8.1 trillion is required between now and 2050 to successfully tackle the interlinked climate, biodiversity, and land degradation crises.

No one organisation, no one sector can do this alone.
We need to work collaboratively to combine our skills and ideas to shape what the path to a nature rich future will look like.
Three key steps
Define
how a business like ours can respond to nature recovery.
Act
tangible positive outcomes for nature through our portfolio of assets, creating a blueprint for other businesses to contribute to a nature rich future.
Engage
with our stakeholders, internally and externally, on nature recovery and what we can collectively do to act.
Dan James, Development Director, Eden Project:
"As the twin climate and ecological crises deepen there is an increasing need to accelerate nature recovery - for our planet, our wildlife and our communities. It is encouraging to see our new sustainability partner Foresight, a leader in sustainable infrastructure, actively engaging to drive nature recovery across its portfolio of assets."
"We hope to inspire UK business to follow Foresight’s lead. We share a deep concern that the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries, having only around 50% of its biodiversity left. This is well below the global average of 75% and leaves the nation in the bottom 10% globally in terms of biodiversity preservation. Action is needed now."
The Eden Project & Foresight partnership
We are delighted to partner with the Eden Project - a collaboration that began in March 2022 and has since evolved into a powerful platform for nature restoration, education, and impact. Together, we are creating and restoring diverse, wildlife-rich, and better-connected habitats, while deepening our understanding of biodiversity and nature-positive investment.
This partnership is about more than alignment, it’s about action. From co-developing a Nature Recovery Blueprint and hosting our annual Frontier Forum, to hands-on seed collection days, we’re connecting our people and investors with nature in meaningful ways.
