Founded in 1999 as the “Sustainable Jobs Fund,” protecting our planet is core to SJF’s strategy. Affordable, clean energy has been a long-standing focus of SJF’s investments, drawing on decades of experience and an interest in investing in the “nuts and bolts” that enable a clean transition. In the 25+ years since our inception the climate crisis has worsened, and SJF continues to explore new approaches to address climate change head on, including catalyzing emerging carbon mitigation capabilities and developing climate adaptation solutions.
Portfolio companies in SJF’s latest funds are facilitating the expansion of affordable solar, enabling the development of green hydrogen, enhancing the testing of vital battery technologies, and improving the execution of nature-based carbon markets.
