London, 9 March 2015 - Impax Asset Management Group plc ("Impax" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted investment manager, focused on environmental markets and related resource efficiency sectors, today announced the appointment of an Advisory Board to support the Company's sustainable property business.

Impax's sustainable property investment team is led by Esme Lowe and Tim Mockett. They joined Impax in July 2014 from Climate Change Capital Limited to develop their sustainable property strategy. The management of Climate Change Property Fund ("CCPF") also transferred to Impax and is now known as the Impax Climate Property Fund LP ("ICPF"). The managers raised institutional capital in 2008 - 2009 and invested £139 million in the UK office market from 2009 - 2010, in assets that offered sustainability-led, value-add potential. ICPF has now successfully exited the majority of its portfolio.

"We are delighted to have put together such a high calibre advisory board. Their overview and insight of
the latest trends in the wider property arena will be an invaluable input to the development of our sustainable property strategy. Each Board member has exceptional experience and in-depth specialist knowledge of the sector and we look forward to working with this team."
