In August 2017, a consortium led by Macquarie Group Limited (Macquarie), the world’s largest infrastructure investor, acquired the Green Investment Bank (GIB), the first institution of its type in the world.
The acquisition brought together the GIB team with Macquarie capital’s renewables team, creating one of Europe’s largest teams of specialist green investors.
Renamed the Green Investment Group (GIG) in anticipation of its international expansion, the business focuses on principal investment in green infrastructure, project development, delivery and the management of portfolio assets, and related services.
Its track record, expertise and capability makes GIG a global leader in green investment, dedicated to supporting the growth of the global green economy.
