Generation Investment Management (Generation IM) is a British financial services and investment management firm founded in 2004. It was co-founded by former US Vice President Al Gore and Goldman Sachs' Asset Management head David Blood, with a stated emphasis on sustainable investment options for their mutual funds and other investments.

Generation has offices in London and San Francisco, and as of 2017, employed 87 people. Generation Investment Management LLP is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. The firm's advisory board, chaired by Gore, meets twice a year.

Generation has built a global research platform to integrate sustainability research into fundamental equity analysis.

History

Generation was founded in April 2004 by a group of seven founding partners led by Al Gore and David Blood. The firm began investing client money in April 2005. Its goal was integrating the disciplines of finance and sustainability. The firm places environmental and social factors at the core of its strategy.

In November 2007, Generation and Kleiner Perkins announced a global collaboration to "find, fund and accelerate green business, technology and policy solutions with the greatest potential to help solve the current climate crisis."

In 2014, Generation launched Climate Solutions Fund II and the foundation partnered with George Serafeim. In 2015, Generation launched the Sustainability Insights Series, releasing "Environmental Intelligence" and "The Power Industry in Transition."
