London | Lex Greensill’s family has quietly invested in a company claiming to make environmentally friendly carbon products from discarded coconut husks, in the disgraced financier’s first known investment since the collapse of his lending company Greensill Capital.
Offshore corporate filings show that last year a Greensill family investment vehicle became a shareholder in Panthera Global Activated Carbon. The company manufactures a material used in gold ore extraction and water filtration from what it describes as “environmentally sourced waste coconut shells”. The investment was made alongside a coterie of former senior Greensill Capital executives.
