Why Siccar Point
In 1788, James Hutton sailed along the Berwickshire coast to a rocky headland called Siccar Point. There, ancient grey rock stands almost upright beneath gently sloping red sandstone. Hutton saw this as proof that the Earth is endlessly worn down and rebuilt over vast spans of time. His companion John Playfair wrote that “the mind seemed to grow giddy by looking so far into the abyss of time.”
Hutton was also a farmer, and a close friend of Adam Smith. He understood that real wealth rests on the living systems that renew themselves beneath us. That idea guides our work: helping investors, landowners and public bodies to see, measure and value the natural capital everything else depends on.

Advisor
Anne Reaney
Anne is a co-founder of Siccar Point and is on a mission to turn Nature from an externality into an investable asset. With over 15 years in ESG data, climate tech, and commercial strategy, she’s built and scaled high-growth businesses worldwide.
Most recently Anne was Head of Origination and Commercial Strategy at Rebalance Earth, where she built the commercial engine enabling companies to align with a nature-positive future. She spent 12 years at IHS Markit, growing it into a £40 billion company acquired by S&P Global, led Truvalue Labs’ European expansion through acquisition by FactSet, and headed global sales at Persefoni.
She believes most businesses face escalating nature-related risks yet lack credible strategies.
