OUR GAME-CHANGING PORTFOLIO
Providing environmentally and socially responsible solutions that deliver clean water, air, and energy as well as filtration, health, and wellbeing technologies, present and past Blue portfolio companies work to make a tangible difference to how we live our lives better, more healthily, and more sustainably.
Blue believes everyone should have access to clean air and water, which are vital to human health and wellbeing. Our investment in companies such as Blueair and Bluewater has resulted in millions of people around the planet breathing cleaner air and drinking safer water.
For Blue, health is very much about physical, mental and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. To that end, we invest in companies like Anocca and Coala Life who are pushing the barriers of human ingenuity to bring next-generation immunotherapies and disease monitoring solutions to market.
At Blue, we believe clean energy benefits the planet’s climate, economies, and human wellbeing. We’ve invested in companies like Luma Energy and Baseload Capital, both striving to substantially decarbonize the energy system to reduce the impact of climate change.
With 60% of people living in urban areas, Blue is committed to solutions creating resilient, sustainable and livable cities. Our investment in firms like Whywaste, which reduces food waste by connecting consumers with surplus stock from cafés, restaurants, and supermarkets using a digital app, exemplifies our commitment.
