Since building some of the UK’s first wind turbines in the late ‘90s’ Thrive has built and funded over 48 clean energy projects, playing a significant part in the UK’s net zero transition. To date, these projects have saved over 1.1 million tonnes of carbon emissions over the life of the business.

Delivering on our mission – putting money to work building new clean energy projects and empowering people to take action to address the climate emergency – means that our positive contribution to avoiding UK carbon emissions far outweighs our own carbon footprint. However it is important to report on and reduce carbon emissions that are made in construction and operations. 

Thrive’s latest climate report shows another year of good progress on our path to reaching net zero emissions by 2030. Let’s dive into some of the highlights…

Emission reductions are the emissions ‘avoided’ from the operation of our portfolio of clean energy projects (also referred to as scope 4). 2022 and 2024 were both very successful years for project construction and in both years our reported emissions include the construction footprint of three new projects. 

We are pleased to have achieved full scope 3 reporting for a fourth year, with the carbon intensity of our day-to-day services decreasing by around 14% when comparing 2025 to the base year 2022. This is encouraging to see and is supported by the decarbonisation stories we have heard through our supplier engagement – see below.

Case study: electric vehicle use by contractors

Our annual contractor engagement continues to encourage positive discussions on how to reduce emissions in our industry. In 2025, one asset manager cut travel emissions 66% by adopting EVs for 81% of their travel to Thrive’s sites, compared with 100% diesel fleet in 2024. Whilst requiring further planning to journeys to ensure the charges are kept in range, they managed to implement a significant step in the decarbonisation journey. 

It is also positive to see that the emissions intensity of the electricity imported to BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) projects has dropped by 38% from 2022 to 2025, putting us on track for this target area.

Trains continue to comprise the majority of our business miles travelled in 2025, with the carbon intensity of our average business mile now 40% lower than when we first started reporting on this in 2019. 

Although not directly relevant to Thrive’s own reported emissions, we encourage our employees to reduce their own personal greenhouse gas footprints as well. For example, Thrive offers the ‘Sustainable Travel Leave’ benefit which rewards staff with paid journey days when opting for slower, greener options for their holiday travel.

We are also currently looking to implement low carbon materials, such as using green steel, on new projects in our pipeline.

ENDS 

In the first half of 2026 Thrive’s portfolio of wind, solar and hydro projects generated 69,589 MWh of clean electricity [1], enough to power over 41,000 homes [2] – that’s a town the size of Barnsley [3]. In total the portfolio delivered emissions reductions equivalent to over 31,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide [4]. Operating profit was £1.8 million on a revenue of £10.3 million. Read more in our half year report.

Progress with new projects

In the first half of the year, United Downs geothermal power plant – which Thrive is invested in – delivered the UK’s first ever geothermal electricity. Meanwhile, construction of our biggest project yet – a 57MW onshore wind farm in Scotland – is nearly complete. The project, which is due to start generating later this year, will power the equivalent of around 45,000 average UK homes a year. We can’t wait to see the blades start spinning soon!

Development of our 12.6MW wind farm in South Wales is also progressing well, with construction expected to commence next year. Elsewhere, in Orkney, new milestones have been reached in our plans to repower Burgar Hill. A planning application has been submitted to replace five existing turbines with newer, larger and more productive models and we have acquired two of the existing turbines from the previous owner, RWE.

Enhancing nature

As well as generating clean electricity, it’s important that our renewable energy projects are having a positive impact on nature. Dunmow solar farm in Essex, which we co-own alongside TopCashback Group Ltd, has become one of the first sites in the UK to become Wild Power certified. A bit like a fair-trade stamp for your coffee, Wild Power certification is a biodiversity stamp for solar farms, recognising our commitment to conserving and enhancing nature on site. Since acquiring the 10MW solar farm in 2025, we’ve introduced a range of biodiversity measures to ensure the project provides a haven for local wildlife to thrive as well as generating clean electricity.

“Wild Power certification reflects Thrive’s commitment to going above and beyond minimum requirements at Dunmow to deliver a truly nature friendly renewable energy project. We commend Thrive for their efforts and we hope that this achievement will inspire others to follow, contributing to Wild Power’s mission to make it easy and viable for nature to thrive at renewable energy sites.” - Joe Arafa, Director of Wild Power

In May our operations team spent a productive couple of days on site at Dunmow preparing soil berms (raised areas of soil) for the creation of a new wildflower-rich grassland habitat that will benefit a range of wildlife – from birds and butterflies to badgers and hares.

Collaborative funding

All capital from the Fair Play Clean Energy partnership with TopCashback Group Ltd has either been deployed or is ready to be invested, funding 79.6MW of new renewable capacity. Meanwhile, the first project to be funded by Community Energy Catalyst, our £40 million joint venture with social impact investor, Better Society Capital, is now operational. The Attix CIC community turbine in Kilbirnie will help bring vital funds back into the local community.

Thrive has also secured new project finance, injecting a total £64 million to fund our growing portfolio. This includes debt funding from Investment Manager Triple Point to support the construction of Whitelaw Brae, and a £4.1 million loan from Triodos Bank UK for Dunmow solar farm, helping refinance shareholder capital already invested in the project and enabling it to be redeployed into future renewable energy developments.

£5 million was invested by individuals in our 2026 bond offer, plus a further £2 million from institutional and high net worth impact investors to fund new clean energy projects. In total, we’ve now raised over £70 million for new renewable energy projects, the majority via crowdfunding.





[1 ]Refers to Thrive’s impact portfolio – total electricity generation of the portfolio adjusted for Thrive’s proportion of ownership, plus the projects Thrive is funding.

[2] Calculated using the most recent statistics from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) showing that UK average domestic household consumption is 3,323kWh per annum (1,662kWh for a half year).

[3] Average residents per household 2.36 (ONS Link) Population of Barnsley is 98,924 (ONS Link)

[4] Carbon reduction is calculated by multiplying the total amount of renewable electricity generated by Thrive’s impact portfolio in the first half of 2026 by the number of tonnes of carbon which fossil fuels would have produced to generate the same amount of electricity. We have used DESNZ’s “all non-renewable fuels” emissions statistic of 422 tonnes of carbon dioxide per GWh of electricity supplied from the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (July 2026) Table 5.14 (“Estimated carbon dioxide emissions from electricity supplied”). Additionally, we include a conservative estimate of the carbon saved through operating our BESS projects.

ROCKSTEADY COFFEE COMPANY LIMITED

Brown's Hall Coffee Liqueur Secures Initial Retail Listings in Jamaica

Wombourne, South Staffordshire, UK - 27 July 2026 – Rocksteady Coffee Company Limited

("Rocksteady" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a significant strategic milestone in the continued execution of the growth strategy outlined in the Chairman's Update published in December 2025.

Brown's Hall Coffee Liqueur has secured its initial premium retail listings in Jamaica, marking the first commercial milestone for the Brown's Hall brand and advancing Rocksteady Coffee Company's long-term strategy to create additional demand for its premium Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee through complementary value-added beverage brands.

Delivering on the Company's Strategic Vision

The Chairman's Update published in December 2025 outlined management's intention to create greater long-term shareholder value by expanding the commercial applications of Rocksteady's premium Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee through strategic downstream partnerships. The commercial launch of Brown's Hall Coffee Liqueur represents the first major execution milestone of that strategy.

Produced in partnership with RJ Rums & Spirits Ltd., Brown's Hall Coffee Liqueur combines premium Jamaican rum with Rocksteady Gold 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, creating a premium product that celebrates Jamaica's internationally recognised coffee heritage.

Strengthening Rocksteady's Commercial Platform

Brown's Hall, a wholly owned subsidiary of Forbes Holdings Management Inc. (Canada), has been established as an independent premium beverage company focused on building internationally competitive Jamaican coffee- and rum-based brands.

The relationship between Brown's Hall and Rocksteady has been intentionally structured to create long-term commercial value for both businesses. Under the commercial arrangements between the companies:

• Rocksteady Coffee Company is the exclusive supplier of coffee to Brown's Hall.
• Rocksteady Coffee Company is the sole distributor of the Brown's Hall product portfolio.
• Each future Brown's Hall product is expected to generate additional demand for Rocksteady coffee Gold.
• Growth of the Brown's Hall portfolio creates additional commercial and distribution opportunities for Rocksteady Coffee Company.

Management believes this commercial relationship creates additional long-term demand for Rocksteady's premium coffee while expanding its distribution opportunities.

Disciplined Commercial Rollout

Brown's Hall's initial retail listings have been achieved using its first sample production. Management's immediate priority is to continue expanding the retail network across Jamaica ahead of the first full commercial production run with RJ Rums & Spirits Ltd.

This measured rollout is intended to establish a broader retail footprint before scaling production, supporting disciplined capital deployment, efficient inventory management and long-term sustainable growth.

Supporting Brown's Hall's International Expansion

Following its commercial introduction in Jamaica, Brown's Hall intends to pursue phased expansion into international markets. Canada has been identified as a priority export market, reflecting established demand for premium imported beverages and a mature retail infrastructure. The United Kingdom represents a second strategic market where Brown's Hall expects to leverage Rocksteady Coffee Company's growing international profile, shareholder base and commercial relationships established through its admission to the JP Jenkins private capital market.

Product Development Continues

Brown's Hall Coffee Liqueur represents the first product within a broader premium beverage portfolio currently under development.

Management is progressing additional premium products, including Brown's Hall Liqueur made with Rum Aged in Whisky Casks, together with further coffee- and rum-based expressions inspired by Jamaica's agricultural heritage. Each new Brown's Hall product is expected to increase long-term demand for Rocksteady Gold coffee through the Company's exclusive supply relationship.

Capital Structure

Brown's Hall has been established as an independent business within Forbes Holdings Management Inc., allowing it to pursue its own long-term growth strategy and future capital requirements separately from Rocksteady Coffee Company. This structure enables Rocksteady to remain focused on its core coffee business while benefiting from its exclusive coffee supply relationship and sole distribution rights across the Brown's Hall portfolio.

As Brown's Hall expands, management expects the business to establish its own corporate structure to support future investment opportunities and international growth.

Chief Executive Officer's Statement

Orville Ricardo Forbes, Chief Executive Officer of Rocksteady Coffee Company, commented:

"Our December 2025 Chairman's Update outlined our objective of creating greater long-term value by expanding the commercial applications of Rocksteady's Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. Brown's Hall's initial retail listings represent an important milestone in that strategy. As Brown's Hall's exclusive coffee supplier and sole distributor, we look forward to supporting its growth and the increased long-term demand it is expected to create for Rocksteady coffee. Our focus remains on producing exceptional coffee and creating sustainable long-term value for our shareholders."

Looking Ahead:

The Board believes the commercial launch of Brown's Hall represents an important milestone in the continued execution of Rocksteady Coffee Company's long-term strategy.

Management remains focused on:

• Commencing the first full commercial production run.
• Advancing international market development in Canada and the United Kingdom.
• Supporting the expansion of the Brown's Hall product portfolio.
• Increasing long-term demand for Rocksteady Gold Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee through complementary premium brands.

The Company looks forward to providing shareholders with further updates as these initiatives continue to progress.

Since its launch in 2000, the UK’s EMI scheme has proven itself as an incredibly popular model, with a reported 89% of UK companies who use a tax-advantaged share scheme electing to use this approach. In short, it is recognised as offering a tax efficient way of allowing growth companies to provide equity stakes in a bid to attract high quality talent, critically matching the financial interests of founders and employees.

However, one of the single biggest challenges here is the fact that despite employees building this paper wealth, a lack of liquidity makes it very difficult to realise those gains. The collective efforts of employees can continue to boost the valuation, but typically they are left waiting for the necessary corporate event before they can crystalise any profits here. What’s more, the accuracy of the valuation is also hampered – if not indeed depressed – by the lack of liquidity.

So, what’s the solution? By integrating with an established private market such as JP Jenkins, this can provide invaluable institutional buy side distribution, a move that can be instrumental in delivering that improved liquidity and better price discovery. It also gives those institutional investors visibility of a new cohort of fast growth companies - as well as the potential to back them. That’s what drove us to partner with the popular equity management and cap table software provider Ledgy, streamlining access to our services for thousands of British companies.

The systems we have developed at JP Jenkins allow us to integrate directly into the underlying financial ecosystem. That enables better price discovery whilst offering client companies the ability to facilitate well governed and transparent securities transfers with whatever degree of ownership control they may require. What’s more this prints a live market price, giving employees added confidence that their efforts and investment into the business are very much worthwhile, rather than just a seemingly spurious number where the prospect of that converting into hard cash always seems a long way off.

The EMI scheme was undoubtedly a positive result of solid legislation that has helped many companies retain some great talent, but over a quarter of a century later and the world has very definitely moved on. Recognition of the power of being able to unlock and recycle capital grows, whilst more recently the sluggish IPO market leaving companies to stay private for longer has applied another brake on progress. With the recent advances that have been made in integrating private markets like our own venue into the broader financial ecosystem, now is the time for innovative growth companies to harness the power this combination holds.

Powder Monkey Group Limited Announces Partnership with Chris Gayle to Launch Premium Beer Range

London, 12 June 2026 - Powder Monkey Group Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with global cricket icon Chris Gayle to develop and launch a new premium beer range, comprising a signature pilsner and a rum-flavoured beer.

The initial product launch will take place in the United Kingdom, with planned expansion into India and Australia. The partnership combines Powder Monkey's brewing capability with Gayle's global profile to create a distinctive offering within the premium beer segment.

Known as the "Universe Boss," Gayle is one of the most recognisable figures in international cricket, with a strong following across key global markets, particularly in India. The collaboration is expected to leverage this reach to support brand growth and market penetration.

The Indian beer market, valued at approximately INR 477 billion in 2025, is projected to reach INR 833 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.45%. Powder Monkey intends to capitalise on this growth through a phased international rollout following the UK launch.

Andy Burdon, CEO of Powder Monkey Group, commented:

"This partnership brings together a proven brewing platform and one of the most recognisable personalities in global sport. We are launching in the UK with a clear plan to scale internationally, targeting markets where Chris has strong consumer resonance."

Chris Gayle added:

"From the outset, it was clear that Powder Monkey shared my ambition to create high-quality products with broad appeal. I'm pleased to be working closely with the team and to have taken an equity position in the business as part of this partnership."

The announcement forms part of Powder Monkey's wider growth strategy. In 2025, the Group expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of seven breweries and continues to invest in additional production capacity, including a recently opened facility in South West Sydney.

The Company is also preparing for a new share subscription to be launched in June 2026, with trading available via the JP Jenkins secondary market platform.
