Initiated by IDH and NICFI,  &Green invests in commercial projects in agricultural production value chains in order to protect and restore tropical forests and peatlands and make agriculture more inclusive and sustainable. The Fund provides credit or guarantees to finance commodity supply chain projects in jurisdictions with progressive forest and/or peatlands protection strategies & policies.

Managed by Sail Investments, &Green has an environmental return target of 5 million hectares of tropical forest protected or restored. &Green assesses every transaction with respect to its potential for generating environmental return, and monitors its achievement through a suitable set of transparent KPIs.
