Renewal2 Investment Fund

About Renewal2

Renewal2 is a social venture fund dedicated to delivering financial returns by investing in leading environmental and social mission businesses in Canada and the USA. Building upon almost two decades of experience in high-impact investing, Renewal2 focuses on underfunded sectors that are critical to a sustainable economy and looks for companies in the organic and natural food, green consumer product and green building product sectors. Having successfully completed the raise of its fund in May 2010, Renewal2 is focused on working with companies in its sectors and other high impact funders.

We became a B Corp to support the movement towards a transparent and robust community of triple bottom line businesses. Having standards such as those that B Corp companies comply with will provide a way to measure and account for the social and environmental impacts that these businesses have, track their success and help attract new capital to this space.

The Change We Seek®

Renewal2 is dedicated to increasing capital towards the solutions economy and believes that impact investing is how the company will create substantive, meaningful shifts in consumer behaviour while impacting the environment and communities it serves.
