Without understanding the meaning we aim to achieve as impact investors, entrepreneurs or even experts, it is almost impossible to see the best way forward. This is why the starting point for Ennovent is almost always ‘how does this drive our impact?’ - building the meaning behind our strategies into our model by design, not accident.

As an organization Ennovent strongly values having a positive impact on our partners, clients and those living at the base of the economic pyramid in developing countries. So at the core, meaning matters to us because people matter.

But beyond Ennovent, meaning matters to global economic growth. Intentionally balancing conversations about financial returns of an investment or initiative with discussions about the intrinsic social or environmental meaning is critical to ensuring a truly long-term positive impact on the people - whoever they may be - that we each work for.
