Values
The values that define us are anchored in our name „4L Vision“ – LIVE, LOVE, LEARN, LEAVE A LEGACY. So what would we like to leave behind for future generations?
Stephen Covey, 1932–2012, American author and university lecturer, described the four basic human needs with “four L’s”. The answers to his fundamental questions have the power to bring direction and meaning to our lives and to our business activities.

Live
What do you really need in order to live? What does living mean for you? How many material things do you need to make you happy?

Love
What social environments do you require in order to feel at ease? What framework conditions would you like to establish for others? How would you like to shape your relationships with other people?

Learn
What would you like to learn next? Which problem would you like to help solve?

Leave a legacy
What would you like to leave behind for future generations?
What we stand for
„Putting my money where my meaning is, makes me live who I am.“
Tim Noortman
Mission
Our goal is to both preserve and to build on our capital as a way of achieving an impact and making the world a better place.
We are committed to sustainable business practices and to outcome-oriented impact investing. The impact projects we select all contribute towards resolving a fundamental ecological or social problem.
We commit to using everything at our disposal and at all levels to make impact investing successful and a mainstream concept. Impact investing will move beyond its niche existence when impact portfolios become financially interesting to investors. Therefore, good financial returns are of key importance. In this way, impact investing can deliver the greatest possible effect – for the benefit of everyone and to contribute to the preservation of our natural and basic needs. In this way impact investing promotes a fairer society and healthier environment.

The term “impact investing” describes the strategy of investing effectively, measurably and demonstrably in ecological or social projects, while at the same time achieving an attractive and at least “standard market” return.
