Impactive Capital

Impactive Capital is an activist investment management firm founded by Lauren Taylor Wolfe and Christian Alejandro Asmar. The firm focuses on positive systemic change to help build more competitive, sustainable businesses for the long run. Impactive Capital utilizes a broad set of tools, including capital allocation enhancements, operational and strategic initiatives, material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) improvements, and capital structure optimization.

The firm's investment strategy involves engaging with companies to make them more competitive and profitable over the long term. Impactive Capital employs a proprietary framework called the Impactive Capital Score to assess companies based on their impact potential, identifying those with the greatest likelihood of generating positive social and environmental outcomes. This approach aims to demonstrate that impact investing can be both financially successful and socially beneficial.

Impactive Capital has a track record of active engagement with portfolio companies to drive positive change and long-term value creation. For example, the firm has been involved in initiatives with companies like Meridian Bioscience and Envestnet, focusing on implementing ESG changes that are material to the business and drive profitability and shareholder value. This reflects Impactive Capital's commitment to integrating ESG factors into its investment process to enhance value creation.
