Just Released: YFM’s 2024 Responsible Investment Report
Investing in Sustainable Growth: How We’re Backing the UK’s Future
At YFM, we believe great businesses don’t just grow fast – they grow smart. That’s why we’ve just published our 2024 Responsible Investment Report, showcasing how we’re backing entrepreneurial businesses across the UK to scale with purpose, build resilience, and make a lasting positive impact.
Over the past year, we’ve invested a record-breaking £93m, welcomed 9 new companies into our portfolio, and supported the creation of 1,600+ new jobs – proving that commercial success and sustainable growth go hand in hand.
But this isn’t just about numbers. The report shares how we’ve worked hands-on with our portfolio to tackle big themes like carbon, cyber security, and company culture, alongside spotlights on standout impact-led companies – from renewables and EV charging, to AI-powered healthcare.
We also take a look in the mirror: our improved PRI score, new carbon footprint assessment, and the appointment of our first ESG & Sustainability Manager are all part of our ongoing commitment to walk the talk.
Whether you’re an investor, founder or just ESG-curious, this year’s report shows how responsible investing isn’t just better for the planet – it’s better for business.
