(b) Investment Capital for Growth
LGI investment financially assists the growth of local companies that make and market natural and environmental responsible consumer products.
Early-stage trading companies are typically not well supported in New Zealand as R&D investment favours high risk/high return high-tech start-ups. Natural consumer products are not considered sufficiently “exciting”. However LGI finds these new business opportunities very exciting with projected good returns both financially and socially.
