Since launching our Gender Strategy in 2017, we've aligned with the UN's SDG 5 (gender equality) and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) to ensure women's businesses are also part of economic growth. Our approach integrates gender considerations into ESG risk management, financial inclusion for women entrepreneurs, and promoting women as leaders and nominee directors. 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: We've made significant strides and recognized the need to update our gender approach to align with FMO’s Strategy 2030. With the help of Dalberg Associates, we assessed the effectiveness of our Gender Strategy, examining its influence on driving gender-lens investments through our public programs: 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗙, 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: • €160 million in gender lens investments between 2018-2023, with MASSIF leading at 70% • Real-world impact: Women are not just beneficiaries but are thriving as entrepreneurs, leaders, and employees in sectors like Energy, Agriculture, and Microfinance. • Success stories like Sistema.bio in East Africa and ALIVE Ventures in Latin America show how gender lens investing can provide tangible, positive outcomes—creating job opportunities and increasing access to products. 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱: Our gender strategy has led to progress, but gaps remain in consistent internal awareness and integration of gender in some of our processes. FMO’s journey with its gender strategy is a story of collaboration and commitment to gender equality. The evaluation provided actionable recommendations to strengthen FMO’s approach.  Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/euEeDZqp #GenderLensInvesting #WomensEconomicEmpowerment #SDG5 #SDG10 #InvestInWomen #SocialImpact #FMO #GenderEquality #FinancialInclusion 

Today is an amazing day to announce our $9M Series A financing at GoodSAM, PBC . This financing was not an easy feat. It took 2 years to find the right combination of investors. We said no to several bad term sheets, we scoured the entire CPG landscape and came up, mostly, empty handed. Then we brought on Greg Krupa who brought in a whole new ecosystem of capital, investors and ideology. Ideology, that aligned with the vision of GoodSAM in ways I never could have imagined. These investors were all about impact. And they all came from the countries we work in Latin America. I have been deeply moved by these partnerships and the vote of confidence from the global south in our regenerative business model. I am humbled. This is a celebratory day for me and the whole GoodSAM team and our investors, retail partners, and most importantly the communities we work with but I can not help but acknowledge the other side of this news. I am an American founder doing business globally. We have a president in the United States who is punishing American businesses for doing business overseas with tariffs and dangerous rhetoric. Do we understand that we would not have the majority of products in our grocery stores without a global economy? Do we understand that we can not scale the majority of the food that feeds Americas because our land is so sick and our farmers so underpaid (and fully disclosed- GoodSAM does not produce products overseas that we can scale in the US and we work with walnut and almond farmers in California)? This is a happy day but the irony is not lost on me. I celebrate this milestone but in light of the current political climate I will also state here that our success is an act of resistance.
