The Environmental/Cleantech sector is characterised by products and services which optimise the use of natural resources while reducing environmental impact in ways that enhance economic value.

Ludgate Environmental has been launched to enable experienced and sophisticated investors to participate in a diverse portfolio of investment holdings in Environmental/Cleantech companies. Ludgate Environmental believes that there are a number of key drivers of growth, both in terms of business and investment activities, within this sector including:
increasing demand for, and decreasing supply of, natural resources;
rising concern over the economic costs of waste accumulation and pollution;
growing awareness of environmental issues amongst the public; and
environmental technology advances in recent years.
