Consensus Business Group (CBG) is a multi-faceted principal investor
in a broad range of synergistic activities.
The core business includes structured
finance, acquisition management and
development of commercial and residential
real estate and a substantial investment
portfolio focused on new technologies
and technology start-ups.
CBG has significant shareholdings in
property and property related companies and
is now one of the UK's largest private
property companies with a £4 billion portfolio
of commercial and residential properties.
CBG also has an innovative Financial
Engineering capability that is coupled with a
global banking network to create a structured
finance proposition focused on debt solutions
with efficient risk/return profile.
The key area of growth for CBG's business
has been its expanding of a £500 million
Technology investment programme of
companies, specialised funds investment,
and IP sourcing; coupled with a substantial
business development network that
provides CBG with an unprecedented level
of access to new technologies, new industry
models and economic acceleration
resources. CBG has recently taken a
substantial stake in Imperial Innovations as
well as many other IP companies that are
commercialising UK technologies in the
environmental sector.
CBG's rapidly growing environmental
portfolio encompasses a wide range of
technologies and companies that help
prevent climate change and contribute
towards a cleaner renewable environment.
This portfolio is built on the back of a global
deal-sourcing network, thus ensuring that
CBG is exposed early-on to the most
innovative and commercially viable
environmental technologies. To date, the
business has made a substantial number of
investments ranging from environmental
real estate, funds and technology start-ups
to new carbon-related services. This
platform will provide a global growth
acceleration mechanism of unprecedented
scale and reach for proven solutions, as
countries are increasingly looking for
investments and research capacity in the
renewable energy and environmental
technology space.
CBG's investment approach addresses all
stages of the environmental value chain
with a deep focus on the synergies with
other parts of CBG's core business to
ensure that CBG capitalises on the growth
in the environmental economy, while driving
the socially responsible agendas of global
corporate markets.
