What defines an impactful investment? Is it merely about financial returns and measurable outcomes, or does it go deeper—into creating solutions that wouldn’t exist without dedicated support? Our Head of Impact & ESG, Johanneke Maenhout, tackles this question in her latest commentary for IPE’s ESG Magazine, delving into the principle of additionality and its crucial role in the future of impact investing. Additionality challenges us to think beyond conventional metrics: it’s about investing in ventures that directly address pressing societal needs where traditional funding falls short. At NLC Health Ventures, we are championing a venture-building approach, providing not only capital but hands-on operational support to bring these high-potential ideas to life. By actively guiding early-stage ventures, we aim to ensure that impactful innovations can flourish, filling critical gaps in healthcare that otherwise remain unmet. Want to learn more?
