Every organization should contribute to a positive human future
This is the theme behind our unwavering commitment to “earning and returning” as well as our efforts to build models that enhance impact and sustainability.
Our ‘return’ model includes three integrated components:
Head
Sharing the benefit of decades of creating solutions.
Hip
Providing the capital to ensure a successful endeavour.
Heart
A passion to execute and a desire to make a difference.
When these attributes are applied to social enterprise and philanthropic pursuits, we trust the world becomes a better place.
Our unprecedented 30 year track record of “earning and returning” represents the backbone of what is today considered financial-first impact businesses and investing. As pioneers in impact, we have worked with hundreds of companies, investors and portfolio managers to realize impact and financial returns –enhancing value and values.
The numerous entities we are involved in can be divided into two categories, Philanthropic and Impact. Below are just a few of the entities and initiatives we are involved with.
