A large Hong Kong-linked and Goldsmith-funded stake in one of the world's largest nickel operations, INCO [[Indonesia]], was also disclosed in the 1990s, showing Goldsmith's ability to position capital before a trend became obvious to others. The group was also a major backer of the Hong Kong-based and Singapore listed major raw material player [[Noble Group]], with low-profile long-time Goldsmith protégé Tobias Brown serving for many years as the company's non-executive chairman.{{cn|date=January 2023}}

Goldsmith became an active campaigner on environmental issues during his later years. He published a book entitled ''The Trap'' in 1994 outlining what he believed were some key challenges facing humanity, with a focus particularly on the fields of modern [[intensive agriculture|intensive farming]] and the use of [[nuclear power]]. This area had been a lifelong passion of his brother, [[Edward Goldsmith|Edward]], but Goldsmith himself had shown little interest publicly in the topic during his business career. The book received criticism of its content from a variety of sources, including the [[European Commission]], British Tory politician [[Chris Patten]], Brian Hindley of the [[Centre for Policy Studies]], economist [[John Kay (economist)|John Kay]], and [[Norman Macrae]]. Goldsmith published detailed rejoinders in another publication entitled ''The Response'', published in 1995.
Posthumously, Goldsmith's estate provided funding for an organisation entitled the 'J.M.G. Foundation', which supports a range of activism opposed to the commercial advance of [[Genetically Modified Organisms]] in farm production.<ref>The JMG Foundation {{cite web |url=https://www.undueinfluence.com/jmg_foundation.htm |title=JMG Foundation |access-date=2016-08-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815133159/http://www.undueinfluence.com/jmg_foundation.htm |archive-date=15 August 2016 }}</ref>
