OUR INVESTEES &
THEIR IMPACT

Our investees contribute to local economies and communities in Southwestern Ontario, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, “a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere.” They also support our other investment priorities of Equity & Justice, Climate Action, and Systemic Change.

 

EQUITY & JUSTICE

SDG Number One - No Poverty
SDG Number Two - Zero Hunger
SDG Number Three - Good Health and Well-Being
SDG Number Four - Quality Education
SDG Number Five - Gender Equality
SDG Number Six - Clean Water and Sanitation
SDG Number Eight - Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG Number Ten - Reduced Inequalities

We invest in social enterprises that increase access to food, housing, employment, education, healthcare, cultural supports, and economic opportunities for historically excluded and marginalized populations. We support those who are building a more inclusive economy that promotes prosperity and belonging for all, and where no one is left behind.

CLIMATE ACTION

 
SDG Number Seven - Affordable and Clean Energy
SDG Number Twelve - Responsible Consumption and Production
SDG Number Thirteen - Climate Action
SDG Number Fourteen - Life Below Water
SDG Number Fifteen - Life On Land
 

We invest in social enterprises that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, divert waste from landfill, restore our natural environment, and are leading the transition to a circular and carbon-neutral economy. We support those who understand our climate crisis requires urgent action to protect our (only) planet for current and future generations.

SYSTEMIC CHANGE

 
SDG Number Nine - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
SDG Number Eleven - Sustainable Cities and Communities
SDG Number Sixteen - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
SDG Number Seventeen - Partnerships for the Goals
 

We invest in social enterprises that address the root causes of our systemic social, economic, racial and gender inequalities. We support those who are working towards long-term, upstream solutions that shift culture, behaviour, and policy to create lasting change.
