Positive Planet

“At this stage of our growth, traditional lenders haven’t been able to offer the kind of support we require so the backing of the NPIF II Fund and FW Capital will be instrumental in driving this next part of our growth. It’s really important that we work with a funder who understands our business.” 

Adam White, Co-founder, Positive Planet

Sustainability experts Positive Planet embarked on an exciting stage of growth in 2026 after receiving a six-figure investment boost from NPIF II-FW Capital Debt Finance, which is managed by FW Capital as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II (NPIF II).

Positive Planet is a leading sustainability consultancy supporting more than 500 businesses across the UK with ESG reporting and strategies to achieve net zero emissions. They offer tailored support on everything from measuring carbon footprints to delivering impactful sustainability programmes.

The investment supported the company’s expansion plan, providing working capital to support their rapid growth and the creation of 13 new jobs. It supported the firm’s expansion into broader areas of ESG reporting, enabling them to work with SMEs, and corporate businesses who need to meet different compliance networks and trading requirements with the Government. 

Co-founders Adam White and Stephen Henry launched Positive Planet in 2022 with the aim of helping businesses to protect our planet for future generations. The firm relocated to new offices on Sixty Fountain Street in Manchester city centre in 2025.
