Investing With Impact
At Newstead we undertake invest in a responsible manner and to provide a positive contribution to the people, areas and communities we work with
FOCUSED ON RESPONSIBLE INVESTING
Newstead Capital puts ESG at the heart of its operations. As the provider of the capital to projects we are in a position to be able to shape the terms we consider acceptable for our borrowers in terms of Environmental and Social impact.
Our Responsible Investment Policy (available on request) explains how we do this.
We have pioneered an approach to lending that creates a direct link between financing costs and compliance with our ESG standards. Uniquely within the sector, Newstead will structure project funding in a way that rewards significant positive impact, providing financial incentives to originators and developers that share our ESG commitments and goals.
Newstead Capital is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment
