Can you invest for profit and make a real difference? Absolutely. Blue Earth Capital AG demonstrates that you don’t have to choose between market-rate returns and positive social impact. Nicolas Muller, Managing Director, is leading the charge, focusing on impact businesses, companies whose business model is inextricably linked with delivering social returns. Impact businesses are growing all around us, for example: EdTech, like Coursera, is revolutionizing access to higher education with affordable, online university courses. FinTech, like Kiva, empowers underserved entrepreneurs with peer-to-peer loans, fueling economic growth from the ground up.
