SDCL CEO Jonathan Maxwell interviewed on Bloomberg yesterday. Jonathan discussed the continued impact of the #ukraine conflict on #energy markets, the encouraging outlook for #renewables , and how we can maximise the energy infrastructure we already have to drive productivity and reduce emissions.   Bloomberg also asked Jonathan about his upcoming book, The Edge. Available for pre-order on Amazon.   Jonathan is looking forward to continuing the conversation with Paul Sweeney and Jessica Menton when he is back in New York!

This was the signature event of my visit to the UK this month. Showing concrete examples of how the public and private sector can come together to get projects done is of utmost importance, and I will be focusing on this for the year at public events around the world. See you in London, Miami, NYC and Brazil!

“If the public sector contributes capital, the private sector will match it,” said Francesca Lorenzini, our Director of Investor Relations and Communications, at our London EDGE event earlier this week, hosted in partnership with the Greater London Authority.   SDCL’s £100 million London EDGE Fund aims to decarbonise the capital by investing in energy efficiency, on-site generation and clean energy technologies in hospitals, data centres, educational institutions and other buildings across London.   Read more in Jennifer Forrest’s Environmental Finance piece here: https://lnkd.in/ex-Sg7ce For further information on the London EDGE fund, contact londonedge@sdclgroup.com or visit https://lnkd.in/efhxe6M6

After 15 years of adventures at the Greater London Authority, including numerous excursions into parallel public and private roles, over the next few months, I'm leaving one of the very best jobs in public finance to follow my longstanding ambition to use my professional skills in support of collegial education, a system to which I owe so much and which sits at the confluence of my academic and social passions. I'm honoured and delighted that the fellowship of Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford have elected me as their next Bursar. It has been my enormous privilege at the GLA to enjoy unprecedented support and autonomy to contribute to, and in many cases create and lead, meaningful social and financial impact for London, my adopted and beloved city, be that in successful financing of vital infrastructure or making our cash work harder in support of public services and protecting taxpayers' funds from the ravages of inflation. Creating London Treasury Limited has been an enduring highlight, providing a professional hub of expertise and consolidating the management of the GLA Group (and partners') treasury balances into our unique liquidity partnership, LTLF, with all the attendant outcomes of resilience and improved net returns. I am deeply moved by the evolution of the team and the dedication and skill of excellent people who have decided to join and stay. The expansion of our reach to the funding gaps in London VC and green finance (eg the amazing London Edge fund we've launched with SDCL) add to the opportunity for impact. I can't recommend the opportunity to take the reins highly enough. My dual role as the firm's CEO and as a GLA official is being separated, which will widen the field and make it a slightly more manageable prospect - do reach out to us through Black Swan Group if you're interested. I have too many thanks to mention, but for anyone who has read this far, the extraordinary professional generosity of colleagues and peers in the world of local government, the #LGPS in particular, and the asset mangers and advisors who support us make it an excellent choice for anyone who wants to seize opportunities to make a difference and life-long friendships. I am truly grateful for the mentorship, support and kindness I've received to get here, and look forward to staying in touch.

I had a lovely dinner with London Deputy Mayor for Environment Mete Coban MBE and his passion for his work is infectious! I look forward to collaborating with him and his team to decarbonize London through our joint London EDGE Fund, coming up with innovative events that bring together the public, private and non-profit sectors and more. It is great to have a partner in this work who brings his full self, and we both discussed how our backgrounds have informed our approaches to what we do. I can’t wait to see what we come up with for London Climate Action Week! SDCL Group C40 Cities Greater London Authority
