Impact & ESG

What is Impact Investing?

Impact investing is investing with the expectation to receive attractive financial returns plus measurable impact returns, meaning targeted positive social and/or environmental outcomes. This type of investing accounts for 100% of responsAbility's activities.

What is ESG Investing?

ESG Investing means investing only where you can ensure that your capital will be used in a way that will do no harm. Assessments for ESG investments must be carried out in order to guarantee this, such as reviewing labor conditions or ensuring that local biodiversity is maintained.

How ESG & Impact work together

ESG 

This assessment process measures a portfolio company’s Environmental, Social and Governance risks. responsAbility then uses the ESG Engagement approach to manage and mitigate portfolio companies’ ESG risks. This ensures that all our investments have only positive impact.

Impact

We actively target positive impact that is linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To quantify this impact, we use a framework that is similar to the IFC Impact Principle’s 5 dimensions and metrics that utilize industry definitions (IRIS+, GOGLA, 2X).
