Nurturing the businesses of tomorrow

We invest in businesses that reduce carbon emissions, restore nature and help us adapt to the changing global environment

Transforming humanity's impact

The Energy Transition

The generation of electricity and heat accounts for a huge proportion of carbon emissions. We now have many solutions to change this, a process that will create new leaders in the global energy industry.

Nature Based Solutions

We rely on the natural world to support all life on earth. As we approach the limits of its capacity, we are starting to recognise the value of what our ecosystem provides.

The Built Environment

Thanks to the immense amount of energy packed into fossil fuels, we have created a system that is wasteful. It doesn't have to be this way and the next decades will see a revolution in energy efficiency.

Clean Transportation

Now is the age of the electrification of transport. Coupled with smarter and multi-modal travel, this revolutionary shift will change how we live and will present enormous investment opportunities.

Xylem Partners is focussed on 4 key segments, each of which will undergo wholesale change.

Investing Sustainably

An urgent transition to clean technology and a low impact way of life is needed to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change and damage to the natural world. This transition must be just in order to be successful. It must take into account more than carbon alone. And it must be driven by science.

Xylem exists to accelerate this wholesale transformation, helping to create a global society where prosperity and fairness go hand in hand. Twinning these objectives sits at the heart of our investment strategy, delivering deep change and capitalising on the opportunity that this represents.

Xylem invests in companies that will support the delivery of a zero carbon, zero impact economy. Many of these companies do not yet realise the role they will play in delivering this new world and Xylem exists to unlock their potential and in doing so accelerate the pace of change.

We are based in London and invest in venture and growth stage companies in Europe (including the UK), and discrete projects worldwide.
