SAIL Investments (SAIL), founded in 2017, is a global sustainable investment manager in private markets, with headquarters in The Netherlands.
SAIL provides bespoke, non-sponsored direct lending to mid-market companies operating in food and agricultural supply chains across emerging markets, globally.
Since inception, SAIL has, through its global investments, protected 3.1 million hectares of natural tropical forest, generated climate benefits of 13.2 million tCO2e and benefitted 68,000 people, while protecting biodiversity through its unique Biodiversity Net Gain approach. Based on SAIL’s investments to date, the forests protected store over a billion tCO2.
SAIL’s strategic approach is to incorporate, pre-investment, a robust sustainability framework and transition plan into its target investee companies’ growth plans. By doing so, SAIL de-risks the asset, enhances the company’s market position, driving margin growth and ultimately economic value for SAIL’s investees.
The sustainability framework and transition plan form part of the sustainability maintenance and sustainability transition covenants agreed with investees.
SAIL’s private credit investment strategy is aligned with SFDR Art 9 and covers SDGs 2, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 15 and 17. SAIL reports under UNPRI, TNFD and TCFD.
