Elbow Beach, Bermuda is a paradise of pink sand that our grandchildren may never see. Crystal-clear waters lap the shore of Elbow Beach and break over diminishing coral reefs, struggling to protect it from the worst of the Atlantic weather that sweeps over the isolated volcanic island.
Over the course of their lives, each of our founders has enjoyed Elbow Beach’s waters, wildlife, and coral reef. But the impact of climate change is becoming clearer and more worrying with every passing day. Weather patterns are changing, storms are worsening, and sea levels are rising. Small islands, such as Bermuda, are at the frontline.
Tourism is Bermuda’s second largest industry accounting for about 5% of Bermuda’s GDP but a much larger share of employment. The loss of Elbow Beach and others like it will permanently harm its economy, wildlife and people, with those on the lowest incomes hit hardest. Elbow Beach is just a single example of how man-made climate change continues to alter the world we inhabit.
Elbow Beach Capital is committed to ensuring that every investment we make helps to protect the future of our planet, its inhabitants and its ecosystems through technological advancement.
Elbow Beach Capital recognises that not all organisations undertaking important environmental, educational, healthcare and social projects are run for profit. In order to support these organisations, we have established The Elbow Beach Foundation.
Every year, the Foundation identifies projects or organisations that are enabling positive social or environmental change and donates up to £50,000 in support of their cause.
