We believe that private markets will play a vital role in achieving the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We also believe that invested capital combined with innovation is the most efficient way to deliver on this agenda and make positive social and environmental change happen.
We address both impact and ESG – what is the difference?
Impact
Impact (social and environmental) is the investment’s current and potential impact on people and planet. For us to invest, the impact potential must be positive, intentional and measurable. Our ambition is to help accelerate each investment's positive impact to benefit the planet and society.
ESG
ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is about how the company, or the entrepreneur, runs its operations. We aim to support each investment to operate responsibly, focusing on environmental care, social responsibility, and good governance and culture throughout their value chain.
Ideate
Identify impact and value creation opportunity, guided by the SDGs, with the aim to grow and develop the business. The investment must fit with our theory of change.
Materialize
Explore each company's starting point and full value creation impact potential using our Impact Rating Model and globally recognized impact and ESG frameworks.
Partner
Partner with management to align on an indicative Value Creation Impact Plan, including preliminary KPIs.
Accelerate
Finalize a Value Creation Impact Plan, with KPIs and targets to measure success with customers.
Collaborate
Collaborative approach, providing support, tools, and expertise to accelerate, measure, and communicate impact and value creation.
Transfer
Upon exit, consider how the impact mission can be further developed with new ownership. Assess and analyze the impact generated against the targets.
Theory of Change
During the Ideate phase, we test if we can describe the investment's impact delivery process according to the Theory of Change Model. We also assess if and how the investment's positive outcome, or at least output, can be measured according to the model.
Impact Rating Model
During the Materialize phase, we use our proprietary Impact Rating Model. This model originates from the Impact Management Project's (IMP) five dimensions of impact and is integrated with Trill Impact’s own rating model.
Managing, measuring and reporting impact and ESG
After entering a Partnership with a new investment, three phases follow - Accelerate, Collaborate, and Transfer. During those phases we manage, measure and report impact and ESG performance based social and environmental objectives, standardized KPIs.
