Delivering returns with responsibility
One of the fundamental drivers of Apis Partners is to create positive impact - this enables us to deliver value sustainably and provide financial returns.
Apis' focus on responsible investment means that we:
Integrate responsible investment considerations in our processes
Monitor and improve ESG & Impact performance across all of our portfolio companies
Invest in companies that deliver positive impacts for their customers, communities, and countries
Integrating responsible investment principles
Apis' Code of Responsible Investment (ESGI Policy) sets out Apis' requirements, recommendations, and management systems to invest responsibly.
It incorporates our approach to ESG & Impact risk mitigation within our portfolio companies, as well the integration of these principles to help us identify and create areas of ESG & Impact opportunity.
Creating societal value
Turning intention into evidence, we quantify the positive impact we help create for every beneficiary our portfolio companies serve
Investing with intention
Apis actively invests in inherently impactful companies that fulfil three dimensions:
Access
Companies that provides essential financial products, services, or infrastructure, that serve low and middle-income communities
Quality
Usage of these companies’ products result in improvements in quality of life (including increased income or reduced expenses) for these communities, as well as for other stakeholders
Markets
These companies generate high quality equal opportunity employment
Managing for impact: the Apis Impact Management System ('AIMS')
To measure, manage, and report the impact created by Apis' investment activities, we created AIMS - incorporating our proprietary impact measurement framework. AIMS helps us optimise impact creation, actively manage risks, and increase overall impact created.
Apis' impact measurement framework within AIMS was designed to provide specifically for measuring impact within financial services, through quantitative and qualitative data arranged in mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive groupings.
Amplifying positive change
By operating at the heart of the global responsible investment ecosystem, we aim to amplify real positive change
Contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals ('SDGs') are a universal call for all global stakeholders to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Apis and its portfolio companies contribute to nine of the global goals.
Apis measures performance against these goals and drives awareness of them throughout the broader ecosystem.
Maximising our impact collectively
One of the most impactful things we can do is share our passion for business-led impact across the responsible investment ecosystem.
