ESG
Environmental, Social, and Governance practices
Agroecology Capital focuses on investments that consider environmental, social, and governance impact.
​
We steer capital towards companies that provide solutions to significant social and environmental challenges and achieve impact at scale.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a useful foundation for scalable impact, representing a broad consensus of global stakeholders around 17 ambitious development goals.

We measure the impact
We measure impact thanks to a proprietary methodology based on the research conducted by Chris Addy, Maya Chorengel, Mariah Collins and Michael Etzel, and synthesized in a Harvard Business Review article. We also used the work performed by TPG with Y analytics and Bridgespan to created a methodology to assess potential impact before a single dollar is committed.
​
Our measurement includes the number of individuals experiencing an outcome, an evidence-based quantification of the effect experienced relative to the counterfactual, the monetized value of the effect and some adjustment factors.
