Eyre Street Capital Launches Sustainable Solutions Fund II
In a significant move towards enhancing sustainable investment, Eyre Street Capital, LLC (ESC) has announced the launch of its second sustainable private credit vehicle, Sustainable Solutions Fund II (SSF II). The ambitious initiative seeks to raise up to
$800 million, marking a notable expansion in ESC’s commitment to environmentally focused finance.
Building on Success
Established in April 2025, Eyre Street Capital specializes in private credit strategies that not only promise attractive returns but also deliver measurable environmental benefits. The new fund follows the success of its predecessor,
Sustainable Solutions Fund I (SSF I), which successfully raised
$421 million and has shown strong performance results. Both funds will be managed by the same investment team, ensuring continuity and expertise in handling these complex financial instruments.
Sean Coleman, CEO and Portfolio Manager at ESC, emphasized the increasing demand within the sustainability sector, stating,
“Deal flow across the sustainability sector has never been stronger.” He noted that the partnership with
Galway Sustainable Capital (GSC) bolsters ESC’s capacity to scale its origination and execution capabilities at a pivotal time when new regulations are spurring demand for private credit solutions.
Partnership for Change
Galway Sustainable Capital, known for providing creative capital solutions, is integral to this venture. Their backing signifies a robust institutional framework, harnessed from global leaders like
Macquarie Asset Management's Green Investment Group and
Aware Super. Jennifer von Bismarck, CEO of GSC, remarked,
“ESC has a proven ability to source and manage complex credit opportunities, and their approach aligns squarely with our values.” This synergy highlights their joint commitment to facilitating capital flow to businesses that bolster environmental sustainability.
Focus Areas and Future Goals
Through SSF II, ESC aims to deploy capital into critical sectors such as:
- - Clean Energy: Investing in renewable energy projects that contribute to lower carbon emissions.
- - Waste-to-Value and Recycling: Supporting initiatives that transform waste into valuable materials, promoting a circular economy.
- - Infrastructure Resiliency: Financing projects that enhance the durability of infrastructure in the face of climate change.
- - Sustainable Agriculture: Funding agricultural practices and technologies that are eco-friendly and resource-conserving.
- - Decarbonization Initiatives: Backing ventures focused on reducing carbon footprints across industries.
By concentrating resources in these vital sectors, ESC seeks not only to generate substantial returns for investors but also to support global actions aimed at combating climate change—ensuring that financial growth coincides with ecological well-being. This innovative approach integrates environmental responsibility with investment strategies, showcasing the potential of finance to foster sustainability.
Eyre Street Capital's commitment, led by its experienced team, reaffirms the critical role private capital plays in driving the green transition. As ESC leaps forward with SSF II, both investors and stakeholders in sustainability can anticipate an impactful strategy that aims to reshape the landscape of private credit investment toward a more sustainable economy.
