Ethical specialists Triodos Bank are looking for UK clean-tech companies to support after launching their EIS Green Fund.

The Bristol-based green banking group are seeking to inject much-needed capital into small but growing green businesses in the UK.

Its fund managers are looking to invest in the waste, energy and sustainable living sectors.

The Fund aims to achieve high returns for investors by investing directly in some of the UK’s most interesting sustainable companies with strong growth potential.

The EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) structure allows investors to take advantage of green growth in the most tax efficient manner.

Triodos EIS Green Fund manager Gareth Zahir-Bill says: “It’s a great time for investment in high growth green companies. Despite the challenging economic climate, sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and waste recycling are resilient in the current recession and are often underpinned by government support mechanisms.

“These sectors provide excellent investment opportunities that will allow us to back the UK’s future sustainability pioneers.”
