Climate change has intensified, spiraling towards what environmental experts expect to be catastrophic results for the planet over the next decades if immediate change is not made.
According to a recent report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), countries around the world will need to make an urgent move away from fossil fuels to alleviate global warming and hold levels to a manageable threshold. One of the most effective ways to achieve that goal, according to IPCC, is to completely reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by 2050.
Nexwell, an investment group with operations in several of the largest industrialized nations in the world, plans to be a major contributor to reaching that decarbonization goal.
“We have a razor-sharp focus on providing sustainable solutions that lead to a decarbonized planet,” said Pablo Pulido, Managing Director at Nexwell. “From our beginning in 2019, we have committed to a mission of aiming for a world where climate change is no longer a critical issue.”
A clear vision
As growth investors, the Miami-headquartered Nexwell invests and partners with companies to help them scale and successfully navigate the energy transition with an emphasis on climate technology. That assistance is backed by Nexwell’s extensive expertise in the industry, including founding members who started and led some of the largest renewable energy companies in the world.
Nexwell has outlined a 10-year plan that includes pursuing and leading the way for large parallel platforms and initiatives that will make a great impact in the area of decarbonization. Supporting a collaborative effort, Nexwell intends to help eliminate more than a billion tons of carbon dioxide from the Earth’s atmosphere over the next decade.
For the last year, the company has been positioning itself as a leader in the industry, working to develop a sustainability roadmap and unlock opportunities for partnerships with other clean energy companies. In addition to Nexwell's brand portfolio, which includes Ibexia Development, Nexwell Power and CarbonCause, the investment group announced recently a partnership with Florida-based Urban Solar, one of the largest residential solar power suppliers.
“Our plan is to expand as we pursue other platforms and venture investments,” said Sandra Fontaine Moya, Investment Office at Nexwell. “Additionally, the company is working on initiatives in the carbon capture and sequestration value chain as well as with infrastructure investment firms to unlock scalable businesses within the energy transition.”
Culture principles
The foundation of Nexwell’s growth relies heavily on a set of cultural principles the company has developed and implemented in its business plans.
Those principles include fostering an ownership mentality and growth mindset among those teams and employees so that they feel empowered and are both results-oriented and solution-driven. A high ethical standard of “always doing the right thing,” is also a key component of the culture of Nexwell, as is transparency for all stakeholders.
“Promoting a core set of principles that are responsible for nurturing the culture we want for Nexwell is extremely important in furthering our reach as an investment company working to make a major impact on the lives of people around the world,” said Charlie Williams, Director at Nexwell. “These principles will help us not only strengthen our internal processes, but they will also help us build credibility in the industry as we continue to scale and help companies grow.”
Portfolio scaling
In an effort to position the company to provide significant capital and make the most impact for a sustainable future, Nexwell’s leadership has recently established a clear plan for best practices in company operation and performance. Nexwell’s “value cycle” begins with the “Ideate” phase, which incorporates the mission principles as well as a thorough understanding of thought leadership and risk analysis for the industry.
The second stage of the cycle is one of growth, ensuring that the best talent is leading the charge and that synergies are occurring between departments. This “Grow” phase also considers KPIs, legal support, technology and process evaluation. The third phase, “Transform”, allows Nexwell to help its partners scale, manage their ecosystems, optimize their capital formation and handle their KPIs.
“The final phase, “Impact”, will show measurable results of how partners are contributing to decarbonization and reinvesting in the community by analyzing their KPIs, thereby building credibility for Nexwell that is forward-thinking in bettering the planet,” said Steve Greenberg, Chief Strategy Officer at Nexwell.
