Who we are

Green Giraffe Advisory is the pioneering advisory arm of the Green Giraffe Group, dedicated to pushing the next frontier in finance and climate

Green Giraffe Advisory is an independent financial advisory, focused on helping clients shape the energy transition. Our reputation was built over the last decade, on entrepreneurial and innovative finance solutions for capital intensive renewable projects and energy transition initiatives

Launched in 2010 and with offices in Boston, Cape Town, Hamburg, London, Madrid, Marseille, Paris, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Utrecht, we offer bespoke financial advice, market intelligence and development services in all renewable and energy transition technologies

In October 2019, Green Giraffe Advisory entered a joint venture agreement with Daiwa Securities, whereby Daiwa took a 50% stake in the company. Green Giraffe Advisory retains its well-known brand in the energy transition market with DC Advisory (Daiwa’s M&A practice) and Green Giraffe Advisory working together to bring their complementary strengths and skills for all clients
