The impact of our work extends far beyond our immediate sphere. G9CM’s investments influence all stakeholders of our portfolio companies what demands responsibility. Our role places us in a unique position to drive positive change across industries and communities. We implement accountable leadership by appointing sustainability champions within the board of directors for all investments, integrating bespoke sustainability plans that include rigorous KPIs, and encouraging our companies to endorse the UN Global Compact Principles. Our commitment to accountability is further demonstrated by tracking progress against these KPIs and, in some cases, linking financial incentives to sustainability performance.
