Building the Future Together

Since first joining us in Bristol back in 2023, Cazenove Capital has become a valued part of the Blue Earth movement.

Now, as they return for a fourth consecutive year as Blue Earth’s Wealth Management Partner, alongside a new three-year commitment to the platform, we’re proud to continue building this journey together.

For us, this partnership is about bringing the worlds of finance, sustainability, innovation and impact closer together at a time when that connection matters more than ever.

“Connecting investors with innovative solution providers is central to our mission, which is why continuing our partnership with Blue Earth is such a natural fit. This multi-year partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting purpose-driven founders and mobilising capital as a force for a greener, fairer future.”

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

When Cazenove Capital first partnered with Blue Earth Summit in Bristol in 2023, the alignment was clear from the outset.

Blue Earth exists to find and fund the business solutions transforming the way the world works. Cazenove Capital shares that belief through its long-standing commitment to responsible investment, active ownership and helping clients align wealth with long-term impact.

As the wealth management division of Schroders in the UK, Cazenove Capital works with entrepreneurs, families, charities and business leaders to build long-term financial futures, while recognising the growing importance of sustainability, stewardship and purpose in investment decision making.

Their early involvement at the Summit signalled something important: that conversations around sustainability were no longer sitting at the edges of finance. They were becoming central to it.

In Bristol at the 2023 Summit, Cazenove Capital’s Head of Sustainability, Kate Rogers, chaired discussions exploring how the UK could accelerate its green transition, bringing together leaders from across sustainable finance and systems change.

That moment marked the beginning of a relationship that has continued to grow year on year.


From Bristol to London

Since those early conversations in 2023, the partnership has evolved alongside Blue Earth itself.

As the Summit expanded from Bristol to London and the Blue Earth platform grew into a year-round ecosystem spanning the Summit, Forum, Ventures and BE100, Cazenove Capital remained part of that journey.

In 2024, they deepened their involvement across the programme.

Emilie Shaw, Sustainable Solutions Lead at Cazenove Capital, joined the main stage to discuss how businesses can regenerate the planet’s resources through technology, finance and nature-based solutions, alongside leaders from A Plastic Planet, Good Energy and Notpla.

One message stood out clearly throughout the conversation: capital has power.

Emilie spoke about the rapid rise in demand for sustainable investing and the growing desire from investors to move capital towards businesses driving meaningful change in the world. It reflected a wider shift taking place across the industry, one Blue Earth believes will help define the next decade of business and investment.

Alongside this, Cazenove Capital also hosted impact investing workshops for investors attending the Summit, helping facilitate practical conversations around deploying capital into solutions, measuring impact and accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

These weren’t surface-level sustainability conversations. They were grounded discussions around systems, responsibility and the role finance must play in shaping the future economy.


Expanding the Partnership in 2025

In 2025, the partnership expanded further again.

Cazenove Capital supported both the Blue Earth Forum during London Climate Action Week and the flagship Blue Earth Summit, helping strengthen the connection between high-growth impact businesses and the investment community.

At the Forum, discussions explored founder journeys, business exits and how investors can align wealth with long-term values. At the Summit, Cazenove Capital CEO Oliver Gregson took to the stage to discuss the role finance must play in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future.

Across both events, Cazenove Capital consistently brought thoughtful insight, credibility and long-term perspective to conversations around sustainability and investment.

They also actively engaged with the wider Blue Earth ecosystem, from climate innovators and nature-focused organisations to founders rethinking industries ranging from energy and materials to fashion, oceans and regenerative business.

What has always stood out is the way they approach these conversations with genuine curiosity and openness.

Whether exploring the economics of nature with Tony Juniper, discussing sustainable entrepreneurship with Deborah Meaden, or spotlighting businesses like Gomi and Rewilding Britain, their involvement has consistently reflected the broader spirit of Blue Earth: bringing different worlds together to accelerate change.


Looking Ahead to the Next Three Years

Now, as Cazenove Capital commits to the next three years with Blue Earth, we believe this partnership enters an exciting new chapter.

The conversation around wealth, investment and sustainability is evolving rapidly. More founders, families, investors and institutions are asking deeper questions about where capital flows, what businesses should stand for and how long-term value is truly created.

That conversation sits at the heart of what Blue Earth is building.

Over the coming years, we’re excited to continue working alongside Cazenove Capital to help convene the people shaping the future economy, from entrepreneurs and investors to policymakers, creatives and business leaders.

Together, we’ll continue creating spaces for meaningful dialogue, practical collaboration and investment into solutions that can genuinely move the world forward.

Because the future won’t be built by one industry alone.

It will be built through partnerships, shared ambition and communities willing to think differently about what progress looks like.

We’re incredibly proud to have Cazenove Capital on that journey with us.
