Ecofin Has Appointed Greg Murphy to Lead Global Sustainability and Impact Initiatives as Head of Impact

LEAWOOD, KS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–To further emphasize the firm’s longstanding pledge to corporate social responsibility, Ecofin announced it has appointed Managing Director Greg Murphy as Head of Impact. In this position, he leads the execution of the firm’s Sustainability & Impact Policy and corresponding initiatives. Greg collaborates with the investment research and portfolio teams to enhance the sustainability, impact measurement and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that are embedded in the investment process, and to ensure the integration across asset classes and geographies. By actively engaging with portfolio companies, Ecofin strives to be a change agent, helping drive continuous improvement of sustainability practices.

“Our investments are decarbonizing global electric grids, providing quality education in underserved areas, affordably caring for the elderly, contributing to solving the global water crisis, and making the economy more circular. Anyone can report financial performance. In this role, I plan to bring to life the impacts beyond financial returns,” said Murphy. “We are measuring and tracking items that just a few years ago seemed impossible to quantify. I want to integrate data with anecdotes from the field to tell the true stories of how our investments impact people, communities and economies around the globe.”

Greg’s role ties together all aspects of Ecofin and its parent, TortoiseEcofin. He coordinates closely with Brent Newcomb, President-Ecofin, providing firm-wide guidance on impact principles that help serve clients’ evolving needs.

“Our primary goal at Ecofin is to provide strong risk-adjusted returns for our clients, while secondly, tackling some of the planet’s biggest challenges by investing in companies earning solid returns and doing business in ethical and responsible ways,” said Newcomb. “Greg has a passion for understanding the impact our investments are making on the world. Investors are demanding greater precision out of their holdings in sustainability and ESG, and Greg is exceptionally suited for this position.”

With firm and affiliate tenure of over 20 years, Greg most recently served as Client Portfolio Manager, articulating various aspects of the business to a range of clients. Prior to joining the firm, he was an investment committee member and principal at Fountain Capital Management, a founding sponsor of the firm. He also worked as a public accountant and as a consultant to the energy industry. Greg graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in business administration and economics from Trinity University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Kansas, and is a CFA® charterholder.
