Global Returns Project

Who we are

Less than 2% of global philanthropy goes to climate mitigation. We’re working to change that.

The Global Returns Project is a UK-registered charity. Our mission is to make high-impact climate and nature philanthropy normal and easy in financial planning, investment management and corporate social responsibility. Our vision is a world where the best environmental charities have the funding the deliver vital solutions, especially before 2030.

Our plan is two-fold. First, we’ve made high-impact climate and nature philanthropy easy by assembling and reporting on a diverse portfolio of the world’s best environmental charities. Second, we’re making that philanthropy normal in sectors where it plays almost no role today. To do this, we partner with financial advisers, investment platforms, investment managers and corporate social responsibility teams.

We have made remarkable progress since launching in October 2020. We’ve already raised nearly £1 million for our portfolio of charities and partnered with 35 financial institutions and businesses.

And we’re just getting started. We are ready to scale up rapidly and make a difference during this ‘Decisive Decade’ for our planet. This is an exciting opportunity to join our fast-moving climate start-up.
