At Snowball, we demonstrate investment which creates high intensity #impact that is "additional". This means investment that generates a positive impact that would not otherwise have happened. Snowball's Rebecca Grattage will be speaking at the London Impact Investing Network (LIIN) event this week about "additionality". And looking bigger picture, she'll share why an impact fund of funds has a crucial part to play in building a future of investment which delivers attractive financial returns together with measurable positive impact for society and our planet.🌎 You can register to attend using the link in our comments. Thanks to Nils Meinefeld for convening the event, and panellists Shantanu Naravane (Herbert Smith Freehills), Rohan Ghose (Blue Earth Capital AG) and Imraan Mohammed (Border To Coast Pensions Partnership). #WorldChangingReturns

Snowball reposted this
It was inspiring to attend the 10th Annual investor gathering of Aqua-Spark - one of Snowball’s mission-led managers that was an early "Blue Economy" pioneer successfully achieving attractive returns and positive impact through improving the health of our oceans. Aqua-Spark applies a systemic lens by looking for solutions that address critical gaps across the aquaculture value chain and then actively building synergies within its portfolio. Just a few exciting examples from their portfolio: 1. eFishery the world's first aquaculture unicorn which, through its Internet of Things (‘IoT’) solution, is supporting 44,000+ smallholder fish farmers in Indonesia to optimize feeding, fish health, and water quality, whilst reducing waste. 2. Sea6 Energy Pvt Ltd. has developed an innovative technology to scale seaweed production in the open ocean and is developing downstream applications of seaweed in agriculture, biofuels, as well as biodegradable alternatives to plastic. 3. Enifer produces a highly nutritious protein that requires no new agricultural land, minimal water, and has a very low environmental footprint compared to soy (which has become a leading driver of deforestation). #impactinvesting #sustainablefinance #blueeconomy

"Every #investment is an opportunity to shape the future. Capital can and should be used to solve the world’s societal and environmental problems. It will be enough when everyone has enough to eat, access to education, healthcare and safe communities to live in. Ask yourself: what can you put in place today to change minds, drive decisions and accelerate progress to a better future?" The Global Impact Investing Network CEO Amit Bouri opening the GIIN Impact Forum today with a call to action for investment that drives a better future. #WorldChangingReturns #GIINForum2024

As an investor, how do you understand the impact of your investments? Impact measurement is a core characteristic of impact investing, as distinct from ESG. At Snowball, we only invest in what we believe to be best-in-class solutions and innovations, and are proud of their #impact. When we report this impact, we encourage our investors to ask us questions. Are these the right KPIs? How are they calculated? Is the data reliable, relevant and usable? At #ImpactFlock, Jemima Lyon joined Camilla Dolan (Eka Ventures) and Clara Deniau (Citizen Capital) to talk about why expert impact management is crucial to building companies that can improve outcomes for society and our world. 🌎 #WorldChangingReturns Impact Europe, ImpactVC, ICFA - International Climate Finance Accelerator

Snowball Managing Director Janine Nicholls will bring Snowball's perspective as a dedicated impact investor to a debate about the so called ESG backlash. What does it mean in practice? Has it really affected investors who take a long term view on integrating #impact alongside risk and return in investment decision making? She joins panellists Ben Dear at Osmosis Investment Management, Liza Hartley at UKSIF and Lloyd McAllister at Carmignac. The TSESG - The Summit for ESG London is on 16th October at the Kia Oval and you can use the link in our comments to register to attend. #AssetManagement #WorldChangingReturns

Climate Week NYC is underway. What does it mean to design and scale impact solutions for our planet? The Snowball portfolio places equal focus on social equity and environmental sustainability; we share examples of some of the climate solutions below. Head to the links in our comments to learn more about how we back world changing innovation. 🐟 CEO who grew up in poverty builds rare $1.4 billion fish startup. A 33 year old biology graduate, Gibran Huzaifah, grew up near slums in Jakarta where he often slept rough and once did not eat for three days. He built a business - eFishery - which can increase farmer yields by up to 30 percent and double net profit, helping hundreds of millions of farmers globally while tackling the global challenge of food security. 📲 Rent your favourite tech so we reduce the resources we use together. The average life of a mobile phone is just 18 months. Old devices sit in drawers or end up in landfill. According to the United Nations, the world generates 50 million tonnes of electronic waste each year, and only 20 percent of that is recycled. Grover’s solution is to cut waste by making tech reuse affordable and attractive. And it’s rapidly made them Europe’s market leader in consumer tech subscriptions. ☀ Lighting up a brighter future. Renewable energy has huge social and environmental benefits – if we can make it reliable and affordable for all. Without electricity, many people rely on expensive, polluting, and harmful kerosene fuels and gas-powered generators to power and light their home. responsAbility Investments AG invests in companies, like SunKing - a global leader and pioneer delivering affordable solar-power. #ClimateWeekNYC #SDIM24 #Investing #WorldChangingReturns
