About responsAbility

We invest for a sustainable world

Since 2003, responsAbility has been at the forefront of sourcing, structuring and managing investments in emerging markets that deliver positive societal and environmental impacts alongside financial returns. Now recognized as a leader in impact investing, we continue to pioneer this field, driven by our proven track record, deep market expertise, and a diverse team of dedicated impact specialist.

Our vision

A sustainable world with access to opportunities for all.

Our mission

To mobilize capital and invest in emerging markets, aiming to achieve financial returns while generating a positive societal and environmental impact.

Since its inception in 2003, responsAbility has become a globally leading Swiss impact asset manager specializing in private market investments across three investment themes. These themes directly contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Financial Inclusion, to finance the growth of Micro & SMEs; Climate Finance, to contribute to a net zero pathway; and Sustainable Food, to sustainably feed an ever-growing population. All our investment solutions target specific measurable impact alongside market returns.

Our pioneering history defines us

It all began in 2003, with the vision that financial inclusion could change the world. We have seen that change for good, and we have since expanded to use our emerging market experience to fight climate change and to drive sustainable food production.
