Sawari Ventures Africa Fund II Achieves Gold Rating in BlueMark Fund Impact Diagnostic Assessment

Earlier this year, we embarked on an ESG certification process with BlueMark to independently assess the alignment of our SVF Fund II with global best practices in impact investing and ESG.

In March, this process resulted in a Gold rating, confirming that our fund II fulfills most to all fundamental best practices across the three core assessment pillars: impact strategy, governance, and management.

BlueMark, the leading provider of independent impact verification and intelligence for the sustainable and impact investing market, conducted an independent assessment of SVF II’s alignment with conscious investing and ESG industry best practices. The Fund ID assessment evaluates funds across key pillars of accountability, including strategy, governance, and management.

” We’re incredibly proud of this achievement “, said Jennifer Schoeberlein, Partner for ESG and Impact at Sawari Ventures. This Gold rating validates the hard work we’ve put in over the years to integrate and drive impact across our investment portfolio, reflecting our deep commitment to creating sustainable value”.
