As stated by the GCF, the &Green Fund will promote sustainable commodity production and higher productivity on agricultural land in selected countries with important tropical forest resources, thereby decreasing the pressure to clear forests for agricultural purposes. The fund will work to reduce emissions and increase the resilience of local communities by financing the transformation of tropical agricultural commodity supply chains from extractive to sustainable practices. The project will achieve this by providing technical assistance and financial support to producers with conditions that necessitate the protection and restoration of existing forests by focusing on supply chains in sectors that drive deforestation such as livestock, palm oil, soy, rubber, cocoa, and forestry.

As stated on the fund's website, &Green is a Foundation, established in the Netherlands in 2017. Its governance structure is designed to safeguard the environmental and social return as well as the financial and commercial sustainability of the Fund and its investments.
&Green currently has USD 144 million in capital committed through grants, redeemable grants and loans from its contributors. Despite this encouraging endorsement of the Fund’s purpose, &Green is still actively raising capital and invites additional contributors to join our mission.
