This brief explores the relationship between financial and impact indicators across agriculture impact investments. The brief demonstrates that as investee company revenue grows, so do both farmer incomes and the number of farmers served with responsible products and services. Furthermore, this relationship becomes even stronger when investors actively engage with their portfolio companies, demonstrating the critical role that investors can play in influencing financial and impact performance. Findings demonstrate that investee companies’ impact and financial results can and often do grow in tandem with one another, especially if investors leverage engagement mechanisms.
Insights from impact data can steer investments towards addressing the globe’s most consequential challenges more effectively. As investors share data on the impact results of investments, analysis can uncover opportunities and provide investors with a clearer, more robust understanding of the real-world impact of their investments and how they drive change.
