Our first Impact Report is here: insights from a year of transition

Our first Impact Report is here: insights from a year of transition

July 8, 2025 – Today, we’re sharing our first Impact Report under our new impact-first strategy. It reflects a year of transition, learning, and significant progress.

In previous years, we reported transparently on our progress in impact investing. With this publication, we mark a new chapter: reporting on outcomes using an accelerated impact-first approach. This strategy goes beyond financial returns, focusing instead on actively contributing to solutions that generate long-term value for people and planet.

Biodiversity, climate, and social equity are now at the heart of all our investment decisions – across the full spectrum of asset classes, from early-stage ventures and listed equity to societal real estate and direct participations.

“Impact investing is not about doing less harm, but about doing good,” explains Marije Rhebergen, our Director of Impact & Communications. “With this strategy, we challenge ourselves and our partners to think in terms of transformative contribution rather than incremental change.”

From commitment to acceleration: How 2024 raised the bar on impact

  • Solution alignment: 54% of our capital is now aligned with one or more of six strategic solutions.

  • First biodiversity footprint: We measured our biodiversity footprint and launched five dedicated biodiversity targets across governance, capacity building, and disclosure.

  • Progress on climate: This year our total carbon footprint dropped by 21%. 67% progress made in the journey towards 2030 science-based targets.

  • High engagement rate: 97% of all investments were actively engaged in impact assessments and dialogue, surpassing the 90% target.

  • Roadmap implementation: 89% of impact roadmap actions were implemented by direct participations, exceeding expectations.

  • Philanthropy: Over EUR 1.6 million donated to high-impact, systemic, and direct community-driven causes.

  • Collaborative learning: Held more than 70 peer impact dialogues and expanded knowledge sharing with other family offices and industry peers.

This is just the beginning

This first Impact Report provides both transparency and reflection – and marks a new phase in our journey. It highlights lessons learned and underscores our shift from “finance-first with impact” to “impact-first with financial viability.” It also sets the tone for the years ahead, guided by our 2024–2028 strategy, where biodiversity, climate, and social equity remain our compass.

As Director Strategic & Family Matters Guus van Puijenbroek puts it:

Impact is not a destination – it’s a journey. We share this report to spark dialogue and drive collective progress. Capital must be part of the solution.”
