Circularity Capital takes home gold at Real Deals Awards

Circularity Capital, the leading specialist growth-stage investor in the circular economy, was named Impact Investor of the Year: Environmental at the 2024 Real Deals ESG Awards. Presented during a prestigious ceremony at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London, the awards celebrated firms driving positive change in private equity.

The independent judging panel was impressed by Circularity’s sustainable operations, its ability to harness valuable data and commitment to enabling impactful change across its portfolio. The firm’s supportive, hands-on approach to investing was also recognised, alongside the team's specialist knowledge in the circular economy and its pivotal role in supporting the businesses it backs.

Jamie Butterworth, partner at Circularity Capital, said: “We’re delighted to come away from this year’s Real Deals ESG Awards with such a prestigious accolade. Being recognised is testament to all the team, who have worked very hard to build a firm with deep domain expertise and capabilities to support growth stage businesses in the circular economy.

“Driving systemic change within the private capital industry requires continuous improvement. While this award is excellent news, we’re committed to further accelerating our progress and demonstrating the synergy between enhanced responsible investment, competitive advantage and unmatched returns.”

The Impact Investor of the Year: Environmental award is the latest in a long line of achievements for Circularity Capital.  In September, the firm received special recognition for its outstanding commitment to responsible investment at the 2024 BVCA Excellence in Impact Awards. What’s more, over the past 12 months alone, the growth equity firm has added a number of innovative companies to its portfolio – including product traceability and compliance business TrusTrace; and CEMAsys, a leading provider of carbon management solutions.
