Arborview Capital Overview

Kite Hill produces plant-based dairy products made from clean ingredients like almonds. By replacing conventional dairy products with healthier, plant-based alternatives, consumers can improve the climate and resource impacts of their diets. Almond milk is one-fifth as carbon intensive as dairy milk and producing it only takes 60% of the comparative amount of water. This alternative helped avoid 27 million pounds of carbon emissions and reduced water usage by 340 million gallons in 2022 - also resulting in cost savings.

Copper Cow works with coffee farmers in Vietnam to improve bean quality and sustainability of growing and processing methods. By repurposing coffee cherries into an organic fertilizer, Copper Cow enabled farmers to reduce chemical fertilizer use by 30%, or 32.5MT in 2022 alone. The company pays higher prices for these better-quality, sustainably grown beans and keeps value-added services like coffee roasting in Vietnam, resulting in a 2x increase in price to local farmers. This improves farmer livelihoods and boosts the reputation of Vietnamese coffee as a gourmet experience.
