OUR COMMITMENT

Accountable to donors, stakeholders and people

As a leading regional umbrella environmental fund, we are accountable to our donors, stakeholders and people as we work to sustain our natural capital. The mobilization of resources and disbursements of funds over the past decade has facilitated innovative solutions and consolidated regional conservation impacts.

Institutional principles

Partnership

The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund is committed to work with other like-minded organizations to develop sustainable financing solutions for the Caribbean region.

Private sector engagement

Since its founding, the CBF has recognized that the private sector plays an important role in advancing our conservation mission. Businesses around the globe can, and do, have significant impacts on our climate and on the lands and waters that people and nature rely on for survival. For this reason, we are pursuing strategies to help companies ease their environmental footprints, properly valuing nature and the services it provides, and investing in protecting and restoring the natural systems that sustain us all.

Prudent investment

In managing its long-term investment assets, the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund utilizes a number of professional external investment managers to create and manage its investment portfolio, targeting a prudent balance between risk and return.
