GPF launches carbon strategy consultancy
John Cravenho, the former director of hedge fund strategies at ING, who forayed into private equity late last year, will launch a consulting business as part of his new venture, Green Power Funding Group (GPF).
HFMWeek previously reported that GPF was set up to source and manage superior clean energy private equity investments in Brazil, India and the US.
GPF's new initiative, Confluenze Business Consulting, will focus on carbon management and technology and is expected to launch in May.
Cravenho said: “Clients will be able to effectively report on regulatory or voluntary emission caps, avoid penalty costs associated with non-compliance, potentially capture revenue from carbon credit opportunities and reduced business risks from potential spikes in energy prices,” he said.
