Investing in Growth with Positive Impact: 2024 Reflections
At Pender Ventures, we believe positive social impact can be a key driver of long-term success. While impact and ESG remain complex and evolving discussion points, we also believe that helping businesses to quantify and communicate their impact enhances transparency and long-term value creation. Our 2024 Impact Report showcases how our portfolio companies aligned with key UN Sustainable Development Goals during 2024 and delivered strong business performance.
We evaluate impact through our ‘Better Lives, Better Planet, Better Inclusiveness’ framework. Last year, our portfolio companies improved healthcare access and affordability, resulting in better health outcomes and economic efficiency. Investments in sustainability contributed to measurable environmental benefits, including reductions in CO₂ emissions and resource consumption. On the inclusivity front, our companies continued to make progress in leadership diversity and equitable workplace initiatives, reflecting a broader shift toward more representative business practices.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to supporting founders in scaling companies that drive financial growth with measurable, positive contributions to society and the environment. We invite you to explore the 2024 Impact Report to see how our portfolio is making progress in aligning with global impact standards and delivering strong financial performance.
We invite our partners, stakeholders, and the broader community to explore the detailed achievements and stories of impact in our full 2024 Impact Report, available below:
