Our approach

We are not just preparing
for a fossil-free future,
we are shaping it

New Sources is not just preparing for a fossil-free future, we are showing leadership by shaping it with investments in renewable energy companies that compete agressively on both profitability and superior sustainability performance and are positioned to win.

Competitive sustainability

Scaling up investments in the renewable energy compensates for declining investments in fossil fuels. These investments as share in the global GDP in the future remain broadly the same as today, indicating the economy can manage the financial burden of decarbonisation. Nonetheless, a mismatch exists in funding the energy transition, and accordingly, the investment opportunity is huge.

New Sources believes that after the ESG hype it is time to move on from trying to put “sustainability thinking” into business and instead start putting “business thinking” into sustainability. Markets are the best vehicle to deliver change, at scale, rapidly and globally. In a “green economy”, the market shift from ESG to “competitive sustainability”, the support of “impact finance” is indispensable.

New sources’ focuses exclusively on finance-first impact investments that make both positive environmental impact and generate competitive financial returns. Our exclusive stance towards impact finance means we will only focus on finance of which its “use of proceeds” is ringfenced to renewable energy projects, companies and/or technologies.
