  • Invest with impact

    Invest with impact

    Impact investments aim to improve the lives of the approximately 4 billion people at the “Base of the Pyramid" (“BoP”), earning less than $ 3,000 per year. The majority of these people live in Africa and Asia. Impact investment is an active approach to benefit people, planet and profit with the purpose to generate other returns beyond financial results. In this respect it differs from ‘negative screening’ or ‘avoidance’ and from grant-based and philanthropic initiatives.
