As the global economy shifts inevitably toward net-zero, OneTrueValue announces the launch of a pioneering investment fund aimed at transforming manufacturing in developing Asia — the heart of global supply chains and a major source of carbon emissions. With over 60% of global carbon emissions linked to supply chains and more than half of those stemming from manufacturing in low-cost Asian economies, the pressure on producers is growing. Evolving sustainability regulations — particularly in the EU — mean that compliance is no longer optional. Factories must act now to remain competitive, safeguard market access, and protect thousands of jobs.
ORE steps in as a critical solution provider, addressing a fundamental barrier to industrial decarbonisation: access to capital.
The fund aims to raise €20 million in equity, with a first close target of €10 million. These funds will be deployed through strategic investments in Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) operating in Bangladesh and Nepal — regions where supply chain transformation is both essential and highly impactful. The ESCOs install solar energy systems and sell electricity directly to factories, enabling immediate reductions in carbon emissions and operational costs. Both ORE and its ESCO partners utilise blended finance structures designed to reduce investor risk while maximising environmental and social impact. “Our approach is pragmatic, commercial and impact-driven,” said Willem Grimminck, director. “We focus on delivering real, scalable solutions — ensuring every euro invested works hard to decarbonise industry and preserve livelihoods.”
