About

History

ORDA begin as an alternative investment platform to create a more inclusive and democratic means for accumulating wealth. We lower the investment threshold to as little as $10 to open up more opportunities to retail investors. Our first asset offering was a parking garage and early investors exited with double-digit returns. Encouraged by this pilot, we tested out 13 different asset classes including rare cask whiskey, contemporary arts, digital assets, and green loan bundles. We learned about the market response, investor appetites and refined our listing process. After more than a year and close to 1000 users and investors, we re-evaluated our business model and our mission. Although we saw a significant impact in inclusivity and diversification of investment portfolios, we wanted to have a greater impact on the environmental and social challenges of our age. We researched and identified assets that have positive environmental and social impacts while ensuring good financial yields. We aim to invest in assets, projects and entities that have good governance practices as well. In short, ESG.

Present

ESG is our core principle choosing any assets to invest and manage. We wish to integrate it in every aspect of our business operations. This includes our daily activities, events we hold internally or externally as well as in our requirements to select investment portfolios. Our main focus is now carbon credit issuance to the voluntary carbon market. We aim to acquire lands that are distressed and deforested or lost soil due to overgrazing or mining throughout the world. Then we inject capital to reforest, regenerate or restore. We do this through an investment fund and SPVs where LPs will be enterprises and investors who are committed to decarbonization and climate change mitigations. We are capitalizing the need for bio-engineered, transparent and verified credits as an incentive for redirection of money flow to climate change mitigation.
