CdR Capital, an independent private investment company has achieved the Planet Mark certification. In this crucial Decade of Action, the company want to ensure that they are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring its own impact.
Achieving the Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations and engaging its stakeholders.

Measuring its social value gives a holistic insight into its positive contributions to not only the environment but also to society, demonstrating its commitment to meaningfully contribute to a better planet for all.
Over the next year, CdR Capital will continue to work towards reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with its community to inspire others. By being more strategic about its environmental responsibility, the firm will be able to significantly increase its positive impact and hope to encourage continual improvements within its community.
“CdR capital has taken a step forward with their sustainability agenda. Committing to continuous reduction in carbon emissions is commendable, and when added to the company’s Social Value activities, demonstrates their appreciation of sustainable action. I look forward to continuing to work with CdR Capital to help them further their environmental goals.”
Through Planet Mark, the company has protected an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth goes directly towards supporting the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
It is also helping the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
The finance industry can help support a sustainable transition. As well as monitoring and reducing in-house emissions, the industry can promote sustainability across all industries by investing in environmentally responsible sources. With proper environmental risk analysis, sustainable investment can also prove to be a responsible decision for the business, as well as for the planet.
To recertify next year CdR Capital must reduce emissions by 2.5%.
A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
