Triple Profitability: A Differentiating Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Impact investors and entrepreneurs who trust us have a clear objective: to achieve solid financial profitability along with significant social and environmental impact. Unlike responsible or sustainable investment strategies, BSocial’s approach is based on addressing identified systemic problems and proposing solutions that bring about real change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We differentiate ourselves from responsible or sustainable investment in that in our case, impacts must follow a continuous logic, where there is a clearly identified problem, and a solution is proposed that represents a significant change for that problem,”<\/em> highlights Daniel S\u00e1nchez, President of Ship2B Ventures, and its co-founders and managing partners Maite Fibla and Xavi Pont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 Impact Report reveals that BSocial Impact Fund has maintained a strong investment pace, with 23 investments made in social entrepreneurs, totaling an investment of \u20ac14,828,297 until mid-2023. The goal is to conclude the investment period before the end of 2024 with a total of 35-40 investments and a disbursement of \u20ac26,400,000. The remaining funds will be used to continue investing in the growth of companies with a greater impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Female Leadership in Entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A particularly notable aspect in the report is the high percentage of female entrepreneurs in our portfolio. 60% of the startups supported by BSocial Impact Fund have women as founders or co-founders, demonstrating our commitment to promoting female leadership in the world of social entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to the Environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its focus on impact investment, through the BSocial Impact Fund, they are taking concrete steps towards environmental sustainability. They are in the process of becoming a Carbon-Neutral Manager and are working to achieve Net Zero Manager status. These efforts reinforce BSocial’s position as a leader in responsible impact venture capital investment. Evidence of this is their strategy to be a manager that does not generate greenhouse gas emissions. This year, after measuring the carbon footprint of 2022, they offset the 259 tons of CO2 emitted through the “Galicia Rexenera”<\/em> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brake on Impact Washing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ship2B Ventures celebrates the arrival of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the European Union’s Taxonomy as it represents an important and necessary step to prevent impact washing. They comply with each of the requirements that affect financial products exclusively intended for sustainable investments, known as Article 9. Additionally, the BSocial Impact Fund meets the impact objectives of the SFDR Regulation and takes into account Principal Adverse Impacts (PAIs) in its investment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
