Rison - What, How, and Why?
Rison emerges as a pivotal financier driving climate transitions across various industries. Our investment focus isn't confined to specific technical solutions; instead, we prioritize the climate impact of the ventures we engage in.
Our goal is to undertake as significant an investment as possible with each client, optimizing both the environmental benefits and the economic returns.
Institutional Capital
We forge strong partnerships with leading entities in the capital market, creating portfolios of climate-positive projects in areas like renewable energy, fossil-free transportation, and energy efficiency.
key partnership is with SEB Nordic Energy, with whom we co-own Rison SEB Nordic AB. This collaboration equips us with approximately 50 million euros for investments primarily in the Nordic region's energy efficiency sector.
How Rison Works
Rison stands out by offering a unique financing model that accelerates the climate transition for businesses and organizations. We facilitate access to project development, products, operations, and financing, then provide these solutions as a service. This innovative approach allows clients to leverage climate-enhancing investments without utilizing their own or borrowed capital—essentially, they rent these solutions from Rison.
This method not only expedites the climate transition but does so cost-effectively. It bypasses the common hurdle of capital scarcity, enabling timely compliance with increasing environmental standards and boosting competitiveness. The larger the engagement with Rison, the more clients can diminish their capital requirements and costs, all while enhancing their climate efforts.
Who Are We?
Founded in 2021, Rison's mission is to channel institutional capital—from pension funds to major infrastructure investors—into profitable investments that significantly speed up the climate transition. Our model is designed for rapid scalability to accommodate the extensive investments needed in the forthcoming decades across a diverse range of industries and technical solutions.
Our team at Rison, leveraging years of experience in financing climate technology and aiding companies in their environmental transitions, recognizes that the journey to sustainability is rarely impeded by a lack of technical solutions or capital. More often, it's a gap in knowledge on effective climate impact reduction and economic challenges related to investments with perceived lengthy returns. Rison addresses both these issues, offering a streamlined path to a greener future.
Our Markets
At Rison, our efforts are concentrated on three pivotal areas of sustainable development:
Energy Transition in the Nordics:
Our primary goal in the Nordic region is to spearhead the energy transition, particularly targeting the manufacturing industry, real estate sector, and public services. This broad approach ensures that the impact of our initiatives is felt across vital sectors that contribute significantly to the region's carbon footprint.
Financing Swedish Cleantech Companies:
We are committed to supporting Swedish cleantech companies through financing solutions. These companies are at the forefront of developing technologies for energy efficiency, fossil-free transport systems, and renewable energy production. By providing the necessary financial backing, we help accelerate the adoption of clean technologies, fostering a greener economy.
Transition for the Manufacturing Industry within the EU:
Our focus extends beyond the Nordics, targeting the manufacturing industry across the European Union. We concentrate on sectors such as transportation, textiles, and food, among others, which are critical for the EU's overall climate transition goals. Through strategic investments and partnerships, we aim to reduce the environmental impact of these industries, driving progress towards a more sustainable manufacturing landscape.
By engaging in these focused areas, Rison aims to catalyze significant shifts towards sustainability, leveraging our expertise and resources to facilitate a smoother transition to a greener, more resilient economy. Our work with technology companies, coupled with our dedication to transforming the manufacturing sector, underscores our holistic approach to combating climate change and promoting energy efficiency across the board.
