Over our last fifteen years, we have tried to create positive impact, articulate and measure it to evaluate how our capital is helping address pressing social and environmental problems.

A common language to discuss impact and to evolve tools and indicators to help measure it, is still evolving. We are committed to doing our bit.

Our investees and portfolio companies today impact over 12 of the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

Our primary impact lens is a sectoral one. We work in sectors with high potential for developmental impact and prefer clients working with low income households or women, or contributing to environmental sustainability.

We select “Positive Impact” business models, and apply prudent Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) filters to onboard customers.

We are a certified B Corp Corporation. B Corp certification, by B Lab, certifies that Caspian meets rigorous, global standards of social, environmental performance, accountability and transparency to help all our key stakeholders. We join 2,100 B Corps in 130 industries across 50 countries.

We will continue to hold ourselves and our portfolio firms to the highest standards of transparency and governance. And we look for these values in every current and future Caspian.

Below is a graphical journey of our impact:

Caspian’s Social & Environmental performance management initiatives are carried out in collaboration with our partners, Grassroots Capital.
