Vision
Our aim is to use investments to empower people at the base of the global income pyramid. We help them realize their economic potential by giving them access to markets, information and other services important for their development from which they were previously excluded.
We offer investments that encourage adapted business models to assure continued access to resources in areas such as microfinance, fair trade, SME finance, independent media, healthcare, and education.
responsAbility is one of the world’s leading providers of professionally managed social investments that give investors a means of enabling positive social developments while earning a reasonable financial return.
Mission
To achieve these goals, responsAbility offers financing to businesses and initiatives in developing countries and emerging markets, adapted to their needs and circumstances.
To raise the necessary funds, we develop and manage investment products geared to meeting the needs of private and institutional investors for financial and social returns. We manage all products in line with professional, structured investment processes, and provide transparent reports.
responsAbility harnesses the potential of the financial markets to combat poverty and enable development, building a bridge between social investors and enterprises seeking funding.
