Experience to grow your business

We are fortunate to have supported various companies that were successful in realizing or accelerating growth. This has given us the experience and skills that we can now bring to your team. For many years, we have helped to shape and strengthen companies across many industries, business models, countries and cultures. We have worked side-by-side with entrepreneurs and managers like you to progress their business, using various growth drivers such as pricing, digitization or acquisition and integration of other businesses. Perhaps we can one day apply our experience to your ambition.

Industry experts at your disposal

Seasoned industry experts will understand your business better than we will ever do. We bring in these experts to support our team, in a set-up that works well for you and your team. Whether an industry expert takes a board position or brings a one-day workshop, it will always be a bespoke arrangement in which you and your team are grateful for their contribution. Experts in our network can also be “functional”, in case we seek knowledge of a specific area of expertise, for example digitization. We work with an expert network that we continuously expand and improve based on the investments we do. These experts are a welcome sparring partner for you and for us.

We aim to take responsibility and create real impact. The environmental and social challenges we face are too clear and extensive to be green washing. Realizing real impact starts with the right measurement and reporting principles:

• impact should be quantified in relevant units, e.g. annual tons CO2 emissions instead of qualitative scoring on arbitrary criteria,

• impact should be verified by an independent third party to ensure objective measurement and reporting,

• all (material) impacts of a company should be measured, monitored and improved, i.e. not only positive, impact,

• negative impact cannot be compensated by positive impact, a company should improve its positive impacts and reduce its negative impacts.

SDG Capital commits to identify, quantify and report on all positive and negative impacts of the businesses it invests in. For this, it has created a partnership with an independent and external institute. As investment managers, our fees will be evenly dependent on return and impact.
