We focus on strengthening and financing sustainable agricultural supply chains from production through to market. This includes supporting the adoption of climate-smart farming practices, certification, improving post-harvest storage, and enabling access to buyers. By integrating approaches such as sustainable intensification, agroforestry, and intercropping, agricultural systems can reduce emissions, build resilience to climate and market shocks, and improve rural livelihoods while safeguarding food security.
Sustainable Agriculture Supply Chains
Sustainable and Inclusive Forestry
Forests play a critical role in climate mitigation through carbon sequestration while delivering essential ecosystem services. We support sustainable forestry supply chains end to end, from inclusive plantation and landscape models, to improved processing technologies, and responsible sourcing of sustainable wood fibres by manufacturers. By working with actors across the value chain, we enable improved practices and better access to finance, markets, and long-term investment.
Climate Resilient Water Systems
Climate change is intrinsically linked to water availability and quality. Effective adaptation requires scaled investment in healthy watersheds and resilient water infrastructure. We support solutions that help companies and end users measure, manage, and reduce water footprints while strengthening resilience across water-dependent value chains.
Sustainable Oceans and Coastal Economies
The ocean plays a critical role in regulating the global climate and providing essential resources. Resilience in coastal and marine ecosystems can be strengthened through sustainable seafood value chains, seaweed aquaculture as a low-impact alternative for textiles and fertilisers, and the restoration of blue-carbon ecosystems. We mobilise and structure finance to enable coastal enterprises and communities to scale sustainable practices and attract long-term investment aligned with climate and nature outcomes.
Investing in Biodiversity Conservation
Growing commitments by governments, companies, and investors to both net-zero emissions and biodiversity conservation are driving demand for investment in forest, wetland, and marine conservation, delivering climate mitigation and adaptation benefits. Symmetry addresses key barriers by developing investable pipelines, structuring partnerships, and building robust business cases that mobilise finance and enable the implementation of scalable natural climate solutions.
Local Clean Energy Solutions
Local clean energy solutions, including improved cookstoves, biogas, and off-grid solar, play a critical role in reducing emissions, improving energy access, and strengthening household and community resilience. Symmetry supports the development of investable clean energy value chains by structuring finance, building partnerships, and enabling scalable business models that accelerate adoption and attract long-term investment.
