Impact investing approach

Subheadings

The importance of impact investing

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.

Impact Review

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.

Our structured approach

For combined impact and value creation we use global impact frameworks seamlessly integrated with our proprietary models and tools, from sourcing and throughout the investment phase. With our overarching IMPACT approach we assess current and potential impact and define the Value Creation Impact Plan for execution.

Trill Impact’s step-by-step IMPACT approach

This overarching step-by-step IMPACT approach, illustrated above, guides all activities within our investing life cycle management. The approach, including clearly defined models, stipulates how and when impact and value creation are assessed, defined and aligned, and how to facilitate successful execution. It is designed to fit different strategies, businesses and situations.

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.
