Oxford Sustainable Group

The Oxford Sustainable Group is an international sustainable development company managing four STOCK market listed companies, as well as its own portfolio with a value of between 2.5bn and 5bn Euro, which makes it one of the largest sustainable development groups in the region. Certainly if compared to renewable energy companies such as CEZ_Group which has a stated investment of 1.1bn in Romania, Ziarul Financiar quotes the Oxford Sustainable Group as investing 1bn Euro in Romania, which would make it of comparable size at least in this region.

The Group has been referenced in the Financial Times as launching the Oxford Renewable Energy Fund. According to New Energy Finance this fund is one of the largest in the region. The 200m Euro find will also invest in Finland.

The Group's stated aim is to generate a high profit through following a sustainable strategy, "By generating a high return we are able to prove that when correctly using a true ethical and sustainable approach, returns will exceed the market norm. Therefore more profit can be returned to investors and reinvested to generate local and global benefits and so on in a virtuous circle. The philosophy is simple. If we generate high returns, more investors will be attracted to our projects and therefore we can allocate more money to projects which have a positive benefit on society, a classic 'win-win' situation."

The CEO and major shareholder of the Oxford Sustainable Group, Hadley Barrett, has been quoted for his advice in a number of highly visible international publications such as Investment Week, New Energy Finance, Focus, and Eesti Päevaleht.
