Investing to advance racial justice and equity
Our mission is rooted in addressing structural inequities. Many of our US portfolio partners view their missions as a response to structural racism as they work to ensure widespread and equitable access to healthcare, housing, education, access to capital, and to support long-term efforts to build wealth that enables upward mobility.
We integrate and elevate the community voice in all of the deals we do. We also collect demographic data on the communities we lend to, as well as our borrowers’ leadership and boards, and we report these diversity metrics in our annual Impact Report.
Our investments to support racial justice and equity have been most prominent in the sectors of community development, small business, affordable housing, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability.
