Frequently asked questions
What is Just Climate's relationship to Generation Investment Management?
Generation Investment Management seeded Just Climate in 2021 and remains its majority owner, but the firm operates as an independent entity with its own investment committee and partners. Shaun Kingsbury was recruited externally to serve as CIO, and the firm's governance ensures full investment independence from Generation. The structural relationship is more akin to a spinout with a cornerstone LP than a subsidiary.
What is the firm's investment strategy, and how does it differ from generic climate-tech funds?
Just Climate invests exclusively in growth-stage companies delivering decarbonization solutions for hard-to-abate industrial sectors — steel, cement, shipping, aviation, and heavy transport. This contrasts with the typical climate-tech fund, which skews toward software, carbon accounting, or consumer applications. The firm's thesis is that emission reductions in these heavy sectors produce outsized climate impact but require specialist technical and industrial underwriting.
Does the firm invest directly in physical infrastructure assets, or only in companies?
Just Climate invests in operating companies, not directly in physical infrastructure assets. Its portfolio companies, however, are themselves large-scale industrial developers or technology providers building physical plants and capital-intensive production facilities. H2 Green Steel, for example, is constructing a multi-billion-dollar green steel mill in Sweden.
