DEVELOPMENT IMPACT

Development investments: scalable business models with high growth potential

Development Investments focus on businesses in developing countries, creating highly scalable business models that leverage the size of the population to deliver strong growth potential. The commercial success of these businesses benefits both the firms themselves and their investors in the form of financial returns. An inclusive business engages in the six impact themes

Inclusive businesses not only seek to generate profits but also to contribute to measurable positive environmental and social outcomes within the six impact themes.

responsAbility’s six impact themes, combined with our focus topics, encompass all of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are inherent in every responsAbility- managed investment.
