Teaming up to create high-impact propositions

Impact investing is all we do

We are a pure-play, impact-first investor with a track record of more than 30 years. With over 750 direct investments in more than 50 countries, we have in-depth knowledge and expertise in making money work for people and planet. We apply an active-only approach to ensure that our investments are always aligned with our vision.

We are an innovative trendsetter

We respond to the challenges of our times and are always at the forefront of what needs to be financed. Since financing the first wind turbine in the Netherlands, we’ve pioneered microfinance in developing economies, turbo-charged climate finance globally, and are now exploring investment opportunities in nature-based solutions. Choosing us means being at the forefront of impactful and sustainable investing.

We have a broad network of like-minded partners

We have a unique ability to mobilise private sector investors and have a diverse international network of like-minded partners.

Founded in 1994, this initiative of Triodos Bank and Hivos invests in scalable enterprises in emerging markets to catalyse a sustainable, inclusive and green economy, focusing on sustainable agricultural value chains and providing access to renewable energy solutions.
