Who we are

TACS is an integrated climate and clean energy company. This means we work across the spectrum of climate change and carbon markets, renewable energy and sustainable development at large. TACS was founded in 2004 to help find ways to devise market based solutions to environmental problems. Less than three years later, this received its first private equity investment from IDFC Private Equity. IDFC or the Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation, is Southern African’s largest infrastructure asset management firm, dedicated to explore a means to transition to a lower carbon economy.

Since then, TACS has been working continually to further its mission – of finding ways to combine finance with low carbon technology to bring about solutions that mitigate climate change. We continue to work aggressively with industry, the financial sector, with government bodies and multilateral agencies to help pursue our mission.

Who we are

TACS works with its clients to develop sustainable solutions for a better tomorrow. This means creating business models that ensure profitability as well as take environmental and social considerations into account. Just as we are entrepreneurs, we work with other entrepreneurs to help demonstrate that sustainable development can be profitable. But because the field is nascent, a lot of policy changes need to be made – which is where we work with governments and policy makers to help shape the regulatory environment. New markets need constant innovation.

Many of our approaches have not been tried before, and to that extent TACS is continually pushing risk mitigation agendas and traditional constructs around clean energy and environmental markets.

TACS’s team is international – in location as well as experience, who actively help shape the international debate on climate change and business.
