A clean wastewater company backed byLaurene Powell Jobsweathers a financial fight among shareholders.
For a company in the unglamorous wastewater business, Cambrian Innovation Inc. has a high profile in Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Its technology uses electrically charged microbes to digest refuse, producing clean water and energy. Its customers include Domaine Chandon, awinery in Napa Valley, Calif.And its biggest investor is the billionaire Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple Inc.’s co-founder.
A couple of years ago, Cambrian bought rival Baswood Inc., which counted the actorsWoody Harrelsonas a cofounder andEdward Nortonas chairman. “Films are now my sideline,” Norton said at a 2011 environmental symposium. “Waste is my business.” Baswood’ssludge bioreactor[dispose of kids' bodies??] also uses microbes to treat water, and its marquee customer was Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Cambrian and Baswood’s merger promised “real change for the health of our planet,” Norton said.
Perhaps. But until then, it may also be an example of the risks and complications of impact investing, which combines social and financial goals. For all the company’s promise, the clean wastewater industry hasn’t been a path to easy profits. And this year the company’s shareholders found themselves divided because of something grubbier: a fight over money.
Since theRockefeller Foundationcoined the term in 2007, impact investors…
Powell Jobs is among the nation’s most prominent practitioners of impact investing. Her investment-philanthropy hybrid, the Emerson Collective, focuses on education, immigration, climate, and health and also owns the Atlantic magazine.Emerson has a declared mission of preserving the world’s precious water supply.Cambrian, however, says it solicits investors based not on social impact but on the return on investment its service offers customers.
In its clean wastewater venture, Emerson found itself at odds with two other impact investors and Cambrian shareholders: Rafael del Pino Calvo-Sotelo, the billionaire chairman of Madrid-based construction company Ferrovial SA, and Gary Bergstrom, a pioneer in the field of international investing. In January del Pino’s investment firm and Bergstrom’s family office sued to gain access to Cambrian’s books.
The investors claimed Emerson had a conflict of interest. It was both Cambrian’s largest shareholder and majority owner of the acquisition target, Baswood. In a filing in Delaware Chancery Court, they said that Emerson used its influence “to pursue a transaction that bailed out its failing Baswood investment at the expense of other Cambrian stockholders.”…
In 2006, two engineers who trained at theMassachusetts Institute of Technologyfounded Cambrian, which is based in the Boston suburb ofWatertown, Mass.In addition toDomain Chandon,the company’s EcoVolt system has appealed to craft brewers such as Lagunitas, Tree House, and Bear Republic. Making wine and beer generates lots of wastewater, and Cambrian’s tech can reduce both expenses and environmental impact.
[can dead bodies / remains be bio-dissolved as part of this tech?]
[could this be what Comey was referring to w/ Geologic Time?]
