NewTech Friday: Symbiose Management – Pushing back the frontiers of green finance

Symbiose Management is a French startup that provides a negative CO2 investment product based on tree plantation. We ask their Founder and CEO Marwen Nefati to tell us more about it.

What led to the creation of Symbiose Management?

As I used to work in an investment bank in France, my daily routine was upset by a massive blockade by Greenpeace. There was no way to get to the office in the morning. This action echoes in my head years later and I have been thinking about it. Does our action have an impact on climate change? Are we acting in the right way? What do we do to improve ourselves? Is it enough?

One year ago, as I became a father, I knew it was now or never to push back the frontiers of green finance!
