Social impact investment

Why?

Den Sociale Kapitalfond is the first in Denmark to develop a systematic method for social impact investment. It is a method for new and long-term, sustainable solutions to social challenges that are not being managed effectively enough today.

Social impact investment mitigates risk, eases budgets and stimulates innovation. With constant focus on strengthening the impact so that we use society's resources better.

What?

A social impact investment is a partnership between a provider, a supplier and an investor, who all agree to solve a social challenge. This could be:

  • Prevention and reduction of stress.
  • Prevention of diabetes or other illnesses related to life style.
  • Employment for vulnerable people .
  • Education and employment for marginalised youth.
  • Better employment in vulnerable neighbourhoods.

How?

The collaboration is based on a partnership with a performance contract. The investors will have their investment paid back with a financial return, if the supplier has been able to achieve the agreed impact: for example, the rate of permanent attachment to the labour market increases by 50% for the specific target group.
