BDA Partners is pleased to announce that its client, Pollination, has raised US$50m as part of an ongoing Series B capital raise, and has entered into a strategic partnership with ANZ, a top 50 global bank based in Australia, to drive the transition to net zero in Asia Pacific.
BDA Partners was the exclusive financial advisor to Pollination on the transaction.
The partnership brings together ANZ’s market-leading Institutional Bank and strength across the Asia Pacific region with Pollination’s expertise in climate finance, asset management, carbon projects, and environmental sustainability-focused corporate advisory. The partnership will focus on the transition needs of ANZ’s customers globally in the areas of Sustainable Finance, Project & Export Finance, Carbon Markets and Corporate Advisory, including M&A.
ANZ’s investment will accelerate Pollination’s growth ambitions and extend the firm’s reach and impact. It follows Pollination’s recent SAFE round, and is part of its on-going Series B fundraise.
Martijn Wilder, co-founding Partner, Pollination, said: “Strategic partnerships are core to Pollination’s impact model – they extend our reach and scale far beyond what we could achieve alone. ANZ has a strong track record of delivering innovative sustainable finance products. With a presence in 14 markets across Asia, it has exceptional reach where investment in decarbonisation and nature is both critically important and a huge opportunity.”
Euan Rellie, Managing Partner, BDA Partners, said: “We’re proud of BDA’s work on behalf of Pollination, and its mission to decarbonize the world. BDA has helped Pollination to assess potential partners and investors with substantial synergies across the US, Europe and Asia. ANZ is the ideal partner for the next phase of Pollination’s growth.”
Mark Webster, Partner, Head of Services, BDA Partners, added: “Following this Series B cap raise, Pollination’s expertise in accelerating the transition to net zero will now reach further, to effect real-world change. BDA looks forward to continuing our work with Pollination.”
Jonathan Aiken, Managing Director, Head of London, BDA Partners, said: “Pollination is at the forefront of alternative asset management and advisory services across a range of urgent ESG categories, including decarbonisation, nature, and climate. We’re happy to be advising a leader and a pioneer in the space.”
