Driving Global Change
Through Nature and Community
At ACRE Investment Management, our strategy is focused on creating profound, positive change by restoring the natural environment and revitalizing rural communities. We leverage the power of nature, beginning in the Southeast U.S. and expanding globally, to drive environmental restoration at scale. Simultaneously, we are transforming rural economies by integrating natural capital assets into local economic frameworks, thereby expanding opportunities and increasing revenues for communities.

Expanding Economic Opportunities

How a Conservation Currency Could Redesign Capitalism
Imagine using the tools of price and profit to achieve more than today’s markets can. A currency for conservation could merge the best of capitalism with sustainability. As sustainability expert Bill McDonough says, carbon itself isn’t the enemy—it’s how we’ve mismanaged it. Climate change is a design failure, with carbon ending up in the wrong place, amount, and time. Instead of being toxic, carbon can be a valuable resource when used correctly.
