Impact investing
It’s not just about aligning capital with values we’re identifying the businesses helping to shape the future."Impact investing is about recognising where some of the biggest opportunities of the future may come from."
Portfolio Director

Our approach to impact
Around the world, entrepreneurs and innovators are creating incredible solutions in healthcare, education, financial inclusion, climate and so much more. As investors, we have an opportunity to help those solutions grow and scale - allowing capital to become part of the solution.
We're allocating capital to investments with clear impact objectives from the outset. We mainly look to invest in businesses and assets that contribute to solutions - helping tackle some of the world's biggest challenges, set out with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Impact Reporting
We believe impact should be intentional and measurable. That's why we've built a robust framework to understand how investments are contributing to positive outcomes for people and planet.
In our Sustainability and Impact Report for the Impact Growth Strategy, we show not just where we invest, but the real-world outcomes those investments are supporting.
