Finnfund expects responsibility, impact and profitability of its investees
To meet the Sustainable Development Goals, developing countries need massive investments in clean energy, infrastructure and businesses that create proper jobs.
However, the challenging business environment of many developing markets often makes it difficult for businesses to mobilise financing that can stand the risks.
Finnfund and its partners help make these crucial investments happen. Our focus is on the poorest countries, where the need for financing is greatest, and where the impact of investments is most significant.
Finnfund offers businesses equity, long-term investment loans, mezzanine financing and expertise on how to invest in the developing markets.
We expect all our investees to operate in a profitable and environmentally and socially responsible manner and deliver measurable development impacts in their target countries.
We put special emphasis on sectors that are critical to sustainable development, namely renewable energy, sustainable forestry, sustainable agriculture, financial institutions and digital infrastructure and solutions. We do invest in other sectors as well.
