Years of trusted expertise

Satisfied clients
Population growth, rising household incomes in developing regions and a changing climate are putting pressure on the world’s finite landscapes to produce more food while delivering better environmental outcomes. We build and manage diversified asset portfolios and businesses that seek to address this critical need.
We are a proven agriculture and natural assets manager with over 5 years’ experience. As active asset managers, we concentrate on enhancing productivity, protecting biodiversity and lowering carbon emissions across our portfolios.
As a custodian of vital businesses that touch people’s daily lives, we have both a
responsibility
and an opportunity to ensure we are actively driving positive change through our investments we
operate to deliver value for our clients and communities.
We assess a range of commercial factors including material environmental, social and governance
(ESG) risks and opportunities, before actively funding in companies and managing our
portfolios
over their holding period. This is part of our fiduciary duty to clients.
From our experience in the sectors in which we operate, ESG integration can improve operational
performance and resilience, and contribute towards reduced risk, improved productivity,
increased
cash flow and better long-term value.
We manage a diverse suite of funding capabilities and asset classes on behalf of our clients,
with different levels of ownership in, and influence over, the businesses we’re invested in.
Because of this, the way we exercise our rights and responsibilities as stewards varies between
the public market and private market businesses of Ryans.
Consistent across both businesses, however, is our materiality-based approach where we focus on
ESG matters that are most important to each company, its employees and customers, alongside the
jurisdictions, industries and communities in which it operates.
In our private markets businesses, we have created a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)
alignment framework5 to link specific ESG initiatives across most of our infrastructure and
agricultural funds with the SDGs. We report on these funds’ progress on an annual basis to
clients.
In our public market businesses, we have developed an SDG scoring system that holds over 150
data points for around 10,000 companies. Its metrics assess performance against the UN’s 17 SDGs
and are available to help inform our investment teams’ decision-making.
As participants in some of the world’s leading industry alliances and advocacy groups, we work to continuously advance our understanding of ESG issues and opportunities and to improve our own sustainability approach. Our people also participate in working groups and advisory committees in areas where we believe we can meaningfully contribute to the understanding and development of industry best practice.
We provide funding and credit to producers and distributors of marine bunker fuels via secured bunker receivable financing or physical trading structures.
As one of the leading banks in delivering working capital finance to shipping pools, we provide access to liquidity to cover bunker costs, port and other service fees.
We can leverage Ryans Loans’s experience across financing and capital solutions, trading and hedging, physical off-take and supply market research, analysis and investor products.
Working with clients as they look to reduce the carbon intensity of their fleets
Our global presence in the shipping industry today means we are well-placed to support clients
as they embrace opportunities that are arising out of the global energy transition. In the
coming decades, we expect to see a shift to lower carbon fuel source options such as methanol,
ammonia and hydrogen.
From the shipyard to terminals and shipping fleets, we can work with clients to finance and
de-risk assets that are necessary for the energy transition.
