Value creation through impact and inclusive growth

Swedfund’s value creation model describes how we create value in the delivery of our mission of reducing poverty through sustainable investments in the world’s poorest countries. We accomplish our mission by investing in and developing sustainable businesses and creating impact and inclusive growth, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, certain regions of Asia and Eastern Europe. Impact on society, sustainability and financial viability form the foundation of our business model and also underpin our value creation and performance measurement.
