CF Pathways provides net-zero solutions and sustainable energy supply to over 5,000 large customers across Europe and the UK as they navigate the energy transition. Comprising CF Partners and Brook Green Supply, the Company achieved £3 billion of revenue in 2021.

The Ara investment will further enable CF Pathways' strategic investment priorities, including the development of innovative software and data capabilities which will accelerate the growth and value of its energy transition product offering. Together, CF Pathways and Ara will combine their expertise to enable a faster and more efficient energy transition. For CF Pathways, this marks the first in a series of anticipated growth-oriented partnerships.
Since inception in 2006, CF Partners has been a leader in the environmental and emission markets. The Company designs, executes, and delivers comprehensive risk management solutions across a broad range of energy and sustainability markets for large, energy-intensive customers.

The Ara team brings with it a deep understanding of decarbonisation challenges across global industrial sectors. Working with Ara's portfolio companies, we have a unique opportunity to bring tangible market-based solutions to industrial energy users and accelerate the energy transition."

We see massive potential for CF Pathways to add complementary value across our own portfolio of companies and for Ara to enable CF Pathways to enhance its capabilities, including the ability to deliver asset- and investment-oriented solutions.
