Investment thesis

Tattarang commits its capital and position to accelerating the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. Accepting the IPCC's scientific assessment and supporting the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, the firm applies a principles-based approach to decarbonisation across its wholly owned portfolio companies: eliminating emissions through energy efficiency and phasing out fossil fuels, acting now with available technologies rather than awaiting breakthroughs, and avoiding carbon offsets as a substitute for genuine decarbonisation. The firm frames environmental conservation and ecosystem protection as urgent obligations to future generations.
