A Globe and Mail Fastest Growing Company for 2024 

 

Growing Fast, with Intention

We have been recognized as one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies by The Globe and Mail!

This recognition is a powerful validation of the growing demand for impact investing and highlights our collective efforts to lead the way in shifting capital systems toward sustainability, equity and justice.

We have 5 key points we’d like to make regarding this recognition:

1. Growth is a Validation of Our Mission
This recognition is not just about financial success – it demonstrates that our approach to combining financial returns with positive societal and environmental impact is gaining traction. More people and institutions are realizing that capital can and should be aligned with values, which speaks to the scalability and credibility of our work.

2. Our Clients and Employees are Key
We owe this milestone to the trust and belief of our clients, many of whom have been with us since we started in 2010, when impact investing was still an emerging concept. This recognition also speaks to the dedication and commitment of our employees, whose hard work and passion have been critical to realizing our mission. Together, we are proving that impact investing is not just viable, it’s the future.

3. Revenue is Important for Longevity and Impact
Though revenue growth has been recognized, it’s not our primary objective. However, it is a necessary enabler for us to continue our mission and create lasting impact. As a for-profit, social purpose organization, having a sustainable revenue stream ensures we can remain a strong force for systemic change in capital markets.

4. This is a Tribute to our Supporters
We also owe our success to those who have invested in us financially, and with their time, networks and expertise: our shareholders, strategic advisors and partners. They believed in us when the future of impact investing was not yet crystal clear, and their support has been instrumental in helping us realize our vision.

5. Recognition Reinforces our Commitment
This growth is a stepping stone, not a destination. We will continue to focus on driving systems-level change and advancing sustainability, equity and justice. Our success proves that you can deliver positive returns while being a force for good, and this is what we will continue to strive for.

We also want to extend our congratulations to all the other recipients of The Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies award. Their growth and achievements are a testament to the strength and innovation present in Canadian business.
