Growing market leaders over the long-term, with the potential to transform industries.
McKinsey River Capital Management is an Article 9 fund and has developed ways to align sustainability with financial returns, including linking carried interest to sustainability targets.
McKinsey River Capital Management sets portfolio-wide sustainability targets for its investments to transform how businesses are operated. The targets are supplemented with tailored impact KPIs for each business, designed to accelerate the positive impact of the company’s products or services. We seek to generate net positive impact in portfolio companies through two pathways:
identifying and incentivizing a pivot from the existing market offering at the time of investment toward products and services with measurable positive impact
scaling existing impactful products and services for greater reach and deeper impact.
McKinsey River Capital Management is supported by MRC’s in-house sustainability and digitization teams, which include dedicated impact resources, MRC Private Capital’s global sector teams, and MRC’s extensive advisory network.
The Future Mission Board, co-chaired by Paul Polman and Jacob Wallenberg, brings a broad spectrum of expert competencies and provides strategic direction with a clear focus on the purpose and impact thesis of each investment.
