THE SDG CIRCLE COMMUNITY

We believe that relational, cross-silo collaboration is essential to building omniwin partnerships to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. To facilitate that, we created a community of the like-minded, called The SDG Circle.

As a community of brand leaders, institutional donors, impact investors and SDG solution-makers, we participate in some of the world’s most celebrated events relating to socio-economic and environmental impact; and we even help host events all our own. We also work to serve each SDG Circle member with services and experiences personalized to them and their lifework agenda.

In stewarding a client’s wealth, it’s important to know each client’s strategic goals and how they operate, to ensure the ‘right fit, culture add’ individuals are attracted to the firm or to their portfolio companies. P/E firms have exit strategies and processes to increase the value of their portfolio companies. VC’s invest moreso in smaller, minority stakes in startups, where candidates clearly need to know that type of environment. When we work with Family Offices, it’s especially important to understand their investment strategy and goals for maximum financial and social/environmental returns.

Example client-partners include HIG Capital and Sun Capital Partners, Blackstone, Interior Logic Group and a number of prominent Family Offices with which we have designed and implemented global initiatives to advance their chosen impact initiatives.
