OGIC 4.0
Impact

Climate, competitiveness, and inclusion — one investment thesis.

We believe that industrial transformation and climate resilience are not in tension — they are the same investment. Every company we back delivers financial returns and measurable impact across jobs, emissions, and regional development.

Strategic Alignment

Aligned with the EU Global Gateway & Africa's climate transition agenda.

OGIC 4.0's impact framework is directly aligned with the EU Global Gateway's objectives for sub-Saharan Africa: net-zero emissions by 2050, quality job creation, and women's economic empowerment. Our portfolio is designed to be reportable against SFDR Article 9 criteria and compatible with DFI impact measurement standards (HIPSO, IFC Performance Standards).

Impact Goals

Seven goals. One integrated impact thesis.

Impact Measurement

How we measure, report, and improve.

Baseline at entry

Each investee undergoes an impact diagnostic at the time of investment — establishing baseline metrics across emissions, employment, and gender inclusion.

Annual portfolio review

Annual impact data collected from all portfolio companies, benchmarked against HIPSO indicators and IFC Performance Standards. Reported to all LPs.

Exit impact assessment

At exit, a full impact assessment measures cumulative jobs created, emissions avoided, and women's income improved against the original baseline.
