The eco.business Fund, a joint initiative of investors’ intent on supporting the promotion of business and consumption practices that conserve nature and foster biodiversity, presents its first Impact Report, “Investing in Impact on the Ground”. This report provides an in-depth look into the progress the eco.business Fund has made since inception and presents the fund’s approach to making a real difference for people and the planet.

With more than 3,000 end borrowers involved in sustainable agriculture and food production in Latin and Central America, the fund is supporting more than 140,000 hectares of sustainably managed farmland. Not only does this contribute to the protection of fragile and biodiversity-rich ecosystems, but also to a more efficient use of natural resources.

In this report you will learn more about what impact the eco.business Fund creates: how the fund promotes change in financial institutions’ practices; how it supports its end borrowers in integrating sustainable practices into their production processes, and how the fund facilitates an enabling environment for a greener economy.
