In this ESG & Impact Talks, we speak with Sergio Henrique Collaço de Carvalho, Partner and Head of Sustainability at Planet First Partners. With over 15 years of experience in the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment, where he held senior roles such as Director of Protected Areas and Deputy National Secretary for Biodiversity, Sergio transitioned into sustainable finance in 2017. Notably, he raised $230 million for Amazon conservation efforts before joining Planet First Partners in 2021.
In this conversation, he sheds light on the challenges of finding portfolio companies, the bottleneck between early-stage innovation and growth-stage ventures, and how Planet First is strategically positioned to navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable investments.
