Description
Better Society Capital Limited (BSC), formerly Big Society Capital, is the UK's leading social impact investor and market builder. Our mission is to grow the amount of capital invested in tackling social issues and inequalities in the UK. We invests its own capital as well as enabling others to invest for impact too. Approach
Our strategy is to concentrate on what we have learned that works over the last decade. So, we are now focussed on building four key investment systems through both investment and engagement where there is greatest potential for scale of positive impact with a sustainable return and where we believe we can make the biggest difference. These are in property - especially for vulnerable groups like people at risk of homelessness, social lending - to charities and social enterprises, impact venture - investing in purpose-led often tech start-ups, and social outcomes - investing in the delivery of public services. Alongside this we are continuing to run our innovation work to find the new big ideas for development in five years’ time.. By bringing in more capital alongside ours in these four areas, we believe there is real opportunity both to help enterprises scale their impact and to give investors a sustainable financial return
