Xilva is the due diligence partner for nature based investments, combining on the ground expertise with data driven insights. Independent, conflict free and fit for purpose, helping funders deploy capital with confidence.
Xilva is on a mission to use due diligence as an enabler for funding nature.
The challenge is well known in nature finance. Nature based solutions offer real environmental and socioeconomic benefits, yet their complexity often holds investors back. Risks are hard to assess, projects are hard to compare, and capital that could flow into nature stays on the sidelines.
Xilva bridges that gap. Based in Zürich, the team combines on the ground forestry expertise with data driven insights to de risk nature based investments. They identify risks to be mitigated and resolved, and create a platform for funders and projects to understand, engage and align. The result: funders receive the confidence to deploy funds, and projects improve to become investable.
Their solutions cover the full investment journey. GRADE, a 360 degree assessment methodology covering everything from impact and financial viability to team capacity and ESG safeguards. SCREEN, a filtering service to identify high potential projects and flag risks early. And MONITOR, which tracks risks, performance and contractual milestones over time.
The track record speaks for itself. As shared on the Xilva website, the team has assessed more than 450 nature based projects, brings over 120 years of combined forestry expertise, and works with 40 leading impact investors worldwide, alongside clients such as Nestlé, myclimate and CarbonPool.
Because nature finance needs trust, and trust is built on insight and integrity.
