Calvert Impact Capital considers gender across all of our investments. Why? Gender equity is not just good for women—it's good for investment, good for business, and good for society. In short—it’s good for us all. When women are valued, they have more power and influence over the broader economy and when gender is paid attention to, better investments are made. As a recognized leader in the gender lens investing field, Calvert Impact Capital works to move gender lens investing from a relatively niche practice to a standard part of all investing. We are dedicated to sharing our lessons learned and resources with the field to encourage the adoption of gender lens investing.

This report provides a quantitative analysis of Calvert Impact Capital's portfolio over 11 years, examining the relationship between financial performance and gender diversity. It also provides tools and guidance for investors looking to incorporate gender into their investment strategies. |
Calvert Impact Capital engaged a team from the New York University (NYU) School of Law's International Transactions clinic to explore the question: how do investors incorporate gender into their deals from a legal perspective? This report summarizes a survey of 20 investors and how they incorporate gender considerations into the legal documentation and terms of their debt financing. In addition to a summary of the survey findings, the report includes a sample term sheet and a legal documentation questionnaire with guiding questions to help investors think through whether and how to incorporate gender into their deal documentation within the context of their broader gender lens strategy. |
