Iona's Purpose Statement

"By delivering superior investment returns in sustainable businesses, help drive funding to accelerate the transition to a low carbon global economy."

This defines and directs Iona’s primary focus on sourcing and funding environmental investment opportunities and its commitment to investing sustainably.

It also underpins our fundamental belief that enhanced risk-adjusted investment returns are both fully compatible with and also driven by a responsible and progressive approach to ESG as markets, governments and consumers increasingly embrace the necessary transition to a sustainable economy.
