GEF Capital Partners

A highlight of our December quarterly strategy meeting was taking a moment to celebrate a year of key milestones for the GEF U.S. team.  As the year comes to a close, we wanted to wish you all a fulfilling and promising year ahead. Here's to continued growth, renewed focus, and shared success!

Our portfolio company, GR Water Solutions, has just acquired QGS Química, based in Sapucaia do Sul (RS), further expanding its presence in the water treatment sector in Southern Brazil. This acquisition strengthens GR Water Solutions’ position in the Rio Grande do Sul market, with plans to grow QGS Química’s team from 25 to 50 employees. This move is part of a R$ 120 million investment package, reaffirming GEF Capital Partners' commitment to supporting companies that drive efficiency and sustainability in the water resources sector. #GreenEconomy #Brazil #ClimateSolutions #GEF #GreenInvestments More information at the link: https://lnkd.in/deZUNn7b

One of our portfolio companies, Automa, a specialist in solutions to enhance energy efficiency through automation, has officially expanded to Europe this month. Its operational base is located in Porto, Portugal, and the company is already working on solar energy projects in France and Poland. We’re confident this is just the beginning! For those who don’t know, Automa manages 40GW of Brazil's electrical system, representing 23% of the country's installed capacity. Their solutions, which aim to promote greater efficiency and prevent energy waste, have already avoided the emission of 27,000 tons of CO². #GreenEconomy #Brazil #ClimateSolutions #GEF #GreenInvestments Check out more details in the article:  https://lnkd.in/ds_DcMPZ

At this year’s GEF Latam Annual General Meeting, we took a step back to reflect on different perspectives. A visit to a local museum sparked insightful conversations, showing us how diverse viewpoints can shape our understanding of leadership and investment. We’re grateful to our partners and investors who joined us for thoughtful discussions, portfolio updates, and a fresh take on how we approach challenges. A special thanks to our team for making it all come together. Looking forward to what we’ll build together next! #GEFCapital #GEFLatam #ClimateInvesting #Perspectives

GEF Day 2024 – Focusing on People! This week, we had the pleasure of hosting another edition of GEF Day, bringing together partners and directors from our portfolio companies. This year, the theme was all about People – fostering connections, building strong leadership, and sharing insights on how we can support talent and culture across our investments. It was a day filled with enriching conversations, inspiring ideas, and a clear vision for how we strive to continue driving value in our companies by putting people at the center of everything we do. Let’s keep this momentum going as we invest in a sustainable and prosperous future, powered by the strength of our teams! #GEFCapital #GEFLatam #GEFDay #InvestingInPeople #ClimateSolutions

Connect: To join together to provide access and communication. To associate or relate in some respect. To form a relationship or feel an affinity.    There’s a reason we chose this as the theme for our first U.S. Annual General Meeting last week. As Daniel Prawda said in his introductory remarks, “We want to provide transparency and openness as you learn more about our team, our portfolio company management, and each other.” Our team delivered on this purpose through detailed presentations by each portfolio company, intimate round table Q&A sessions, and small group activities to connect with the environment.    We are grateful to our limited partners and investors who traveled from all over the world to join us, showing their commitment to our Fund, our people, and our vision.     The dedication of our team, who worked tirelessly to put all the pieces together, was what gave us the greatest source of pride.
