About GLIN:
GLIN Impact Capital is an investment fund established to contribute to the development of impact/ESG investing with the mission to “reimagine capitalism for systemic change”. Based on this mission, GLIN makes impact/ESG investments in unlisted growth-stage companies in Japan and the U.S. that are developing businesses with synergies between social impact and economic return. In addition, we provide post-investment support so portfolio companies can grow sustainably while pursuing their social mission.
Leveraging our unique perspective as an investor, we support corporate transformation through our advisory and consulting services to contribute to a future where non-financial information represented by impact/ESG factors will play an important role in corporate evaluations and activities.
As the first fund in Japan to invest in unlisted companies from both impact and ESG perspectives, we will adopt advanced global initiatives, and share our accumulated insights with various stakeholders – including investors, external clients, financial institutions, and governments – while playing a leading role in fostering an ecosystem for a more sustainable model of capitalism.
