WE BELIEVE SUSTAINABILITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND IS THE BIGGEST ECONOMICOPPORTUNITY OF OUR TIMES.
We collaborate with leading institutions to develop the standards for environmental performance that everyone else will follow – a core value creator that will always sit side by side with financial returns.
We fight the two most critical risks for humanity and for our environment: climate change and biodiversity loss: it is a race against time.
We focus on circular economy which addresses 40% of co2 emissions and can support nature regeneration. You can find our Code of Ethics here >
We are thinking big

THE PROBLEM
Working side by side with Duplex to find an alternative to bottles made from low-recyclable plastic and high carbon-emission glass.
THE SOLUTION
Developing a compostable, biodegradable paper bottle that can be recycled as easily as a newspaper. Licensing the technology, selling the coating and getting royalty on every bottle – giving exclusivity to an industry leader in each category for six months.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A $200b global rigid bottle market for multiple end uses; from pharma to soft drinks, alcoholic beverages to milk, agriculture chemicals to motor oil, cosmetics to home and personal care. Opportunity for high double-digit global growth and very high profitability, given the asset-light model.
OUR VALUE
Helping devise the strategy and licensing business model. Introducing many of the key players like Pepsico, Unilever, Estee Lauder, GSK, Stora Enso (generic milk bottle) to create a supporting consortium together with initiator Diageo.

THE PROBLEM
Many ETFs and other financial products are greenwashing and not preventing brown emission – or at least don’t have the right information about best-performing companies (from a Climate Change perspective). We’re working with iClima Earth to change this.
THE SOLUTION
Investing in green emissions and harnessing over $1T in growing sustainable index funds. Using traditional EFT products and index licensing (volume distribution) and expanding into other financial products thanks to in-depth research (margin).
THE OPPORTUNITY
Launching more products and accessing the threshold for larger distribution. There are already four regulated products launched on all major stock exchanges in Europe, US and Australia.
OUR VALUE
Co-developing strategy for new product launches. Providing access to C-level clients like Morgan Stanley, MorningStar and S&P, who are also developing exit opportunities.
"We’re on a single-minded mission to deliver sustainability through renewable packaging. Una Terra has helped open doors to accelerate that mission."
Scott Winston, Chief Executive Officer, Pulpex
"We started iClima to shift the narrative in the climate change investment space. Our theory of change is that capital markets can and should be a source of good, but most financial products lack a clear purpose and therefore impact.
We believe we can combat greenwashing with data. It is hard to be a new voice in a competitive industry, and joining forces with like-minded ventures and individuals like the Una Terra team, that share the passion, commitment and sense of urgency, is invigorating."
Gabriela Herculano, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, iClima Earth
"Finding a VC to invest with that was driven by creating real impact alongside strong returns was important to me. I found both those things and more with Una Terra."
Francesco Pagano, Investor
"The Una Terra team carry such strong and diverse experience. The outcomes they create speak for themselves. It’s exciting because this is just the beginning."
Vanessa Barboni Hallik, Investor
"If you’re looking to invest with a VC who has cracked the code between planet and profit, look no further."
Sophia Kianni, Investor
