Responsible investment
Responsible investment and impact
A framework for measurable contribution — without fabricated track-record statistics.
As investments are made, SAEF intends to define metrics, collect data from investee businesses where appropriate, and develop portfolio-level reporting over time.
Outputs
Direct, countable results of investment activity.
- Jobs created
- Jobs sustained
- Businesses supported
- Capital deployed (when applicable and verified)
Outcomes
Longer-term changes in business performance and economic participation.
- Sustained employment
- Revenue growth and productivity
- Governance improvement
- Business formalisation
- Transformation and economic inclusion
- Geographic participation
- Sustainable growth
Themes of particular interest include women-led businesses, youth employment, transformation and geographic participation — measured when data is available and verified.
