In recent research, EVPA has outlined three ways in which companies with multiple corporate social investors can work together to broaden their impact on society, scale the impact of promising societal solutions, or deepen their impact on a particular community.
Watch the recording of this webinar to hear from pioneering organisations how they are combining different financial instruments, investment strategies and organisation types to take their impact to the next level.
Pim Mol, Managing Director at Rabo Foundation, will explain how Rabo Foundation, Rabo Rural Fund and Rabobank are adopting the scale strategy to scale the impact of farmer-based organisations that enable smallholder farmers in developing countries to become self-sufficient and produce enough food sustainably to feed the growing population.
