India has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past

two decades. It is poised to enter a phase of sustainable and inclusive

development that will benefit the 680 million Indians who still

struggle to meet their basic needs.

Small and growing businesses will drive this development through their work in healthcare, education, agriculture, clean energy and more. But these businesses are often excluded from the mainstream financing options they need to scale and increase their impact.

Investors in the India Investment Initiative can help meet this need. Investments in the Community Investment Note provide the loan capital that Calvert Foundation uses to make loans to Indian financial institutions, who in turn lend to small businesses operating on the ground. Investors create measurable social impact while earning a return on their investment.

INVEST FOR SOCIAL GOOD™

PA R T N E R S P O T L I G H T

ENVIROFIT INTERNATIONAL produces and distributes clean, affordable cookstoves

for customers in developing countries. In India, many poor households rely on firewood

for cooking, which creates toxic smoke inside the home. Indoor air pollution causes

more than one million deaths per year, mostly women and children. Relying on firewood

is also expensive; families living at the bottom of the pyramid spend up to 30% of their

income on fuel.

By offering efficient cookstoves at an affordable price, Envirofit improves health,

reduces indoor air pollution, prevents carbon emissions, and increases productivity

for millions of families across India.
