Our focus is to offer solutions to investors who wish to positively contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through their investments, which is why impact is one of our core metrics. Our impact strategy focuses on seven specific SDGs, for our investments to be part of the larger effort to address the world’s most significant challenges.

 

We place special care in quantifying and catalyzing the positive impact of our investments, at every stage of the cycle, starting from sourcing. We exclusively support companies which positively impact at least 3 of our target SDGs through their core business.

 

Our investments are required to adhere to our structured Environmental and Social Monitoring System, which sets clear impact indicators and targets based on the nature of the investment. We work in partnership with sustainability consultants, to ensure the most adequate indicators are selected and our objectives successfully achieved.
