We believe in doing the right thing for people and the planet.

We lead by example and work to change the way people think about green investment.
Our company strives to provide value for both our clients and shareholders. Innovation and creativity are at the heart of what we do.
We provide innovative financing solutions for our clients, when traditional options are not available or suitable, through which a greener future can be created.
RE Royalties has advanced our work in sustainability while achieving strong operating and financial performance at the same time.
Strong performance, along with social responsibility and environmental stewardship, is part of being a sustainable renewable energy company.
We recognize and have embraced the importance of taking the long view to make an environmental impact.

We are working to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.
The Beginning
After becoming a new father and wanting to make a difference for his children’s future, our co-founder Bernard Tan was reminded of his grandfather’s advice to take that next step.
It was a unique advisory role with a small company that helped Bernard see the potential of a new way to provide financing and make an environmental impact.
RE Royalties was thus created: to help build renewable energy projects faster through innovative financing, while leading the way for socially-conscious investors.
The royalty financing business model is an established and proven form of investment in other industry sectors such as mining, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, technology, music, and book publishing.
RE Royalties is a pioneer and is the first to apply this proven business model to the renewable energy sector.
