for a better future

Impact

We are convinced that active entrepreneurship must and can make a positive contribution to the preservation of our planet.

Through our investment decisions, we influence companies – and how they develop. That’s why we deliberately seek out impact entrepreneurs who not only have a good business idea and want to develop it further, but who also want to make an active contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Together, we define concrete impact goals and align, for example, the compensation structure and incentive systems with financial indicators and the improvement of impact KPIs.

We are convinced that impact entrepreneurship is an attitude that is necessary for our future, and one that we can and want to use to get a little better every day.

  • We don’t want to talk and expect things from others, but do something ourselves. Specifically.
  • We know that you can’t do everything absolutely perfect and right from the start. But we are entrepreneurs and therefore want to start, learn, improve and thereby deliver concrete results when others are still talking.
  • We are looking for comrades-in-arms and like to exchange ideas in an open manner on all aspects, opportunities as well as challenges.
  • We know that in order to implement and act, we need many innovative, enthusiastic impact entrepreneurs as partners.

We are convinced that impact entrepreneurship and impact investing are the logical and consistent continuation of the German family business tradition and that we do not have to make any compromises in terms of expected returns. On the contrary, we can achieve improvements on the risk side for the entire portfolio.

Sustainable Impact

Companies that offer solutions to the major economic and social challenges of our time, such as climate change or a growing and aging population, can remain successful and be part of the smart future. These challenges and trends therefore form the basis of our investment approach. Our goal is to have a positive impact on society. In our role as an investor and owner, we generate impact through the capital we provide, our participation, our representation on the boards and through the jobs, innovations, products and services of our companies. We integrate sustainability into our role as a responsible company and as a responsible investor and owner. The two are inextricably linked.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

The United Nations has adopted 17 global goals for 2030, which world leaders have committed to achieving. Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented effort from all sectors of society – and business has a very important role to play. PRIMEPULSE supports the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Together with our portfolio companies, we aim to contribute to a number of them.

Investing in the Future

With impact investing, the initially seemingly contradictory goals of sustainability, profitability and growth can be united. The impact idea thus offers a fresh, inclusive approach to realigning existing forms of business and creating innovative value chains.
