Financial Return

Mission-driven companies attract the best talent, have a strong and engaged customer base, and answer to growing societal demand for sustainability.

Their success will accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world and deliver robust financial performance.

Impact pillars

Our investment thesis is built on the foundation laid out by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We invest in companies whose products or services fall under one of these three impact pillars.

#1 Planet

#2 People

  • Natural capital
  • Circularity
  • Energy transition
  • Smart industry & infrastructure
  • Increase economic equality (access to employment, financing and education)
  • Overcome social barriers such as prejudice and gatekeeping
  • Overcome physical barriers to lead more fulfilled and independent lives
  • Increase access to universal health coverage (financial and physical)
  • Promote mental health & well-being
The common thread across the 3 verticals is Digital Technology
