Longrun Capital
The world needs an unprecedented technological transformation to outpace climate change, which will disrupt most industries.
About Longrun Capital
Longrun has refined a strategy over the past five years of investing in climate impact, aligning with long-term industry trends and structural market drivers. The real estate and construction industries — accountable for 37 percent of global carbon emissions— must transform to meet climate targets, creating a massive investment opportunity.
Longrun focuses on investments along the whole value chain related to the built environment. We believe that new advanced materials that reduce the carbon footprint in the construction sector, and solutions that redefines how energy is generated and consumed in buildings, will be key to fulfil new regulatory requirements and climate goals. We have a holistic approach and a solid impact framework with the purpose to maximize our impact on climate change mitigation.
