Our development impact goals
Our three impact goals are highly interconnected and synergistic, with each having an influence on the others. Addressing climate and nature action, promoting gender equality, and fostering market development can lead to more sustainable, resilient, and equitable development. It is also beneficial for the business performance of our clients.
