Social Development

Adlevo Capital’s strategy of focusing its investment efforts on companies with technology-enabled business models will generate positive social development outcomes due to the inherently favorable effects of technology on social development. The social development outcomes of the firm’s investments will be measured via the five attributes that are captured by the acronym “WIRED” as described below:

  • Wellness promotion - This attribute measures the impact of a company’s activities on the health of its employees and other members of the community in which the company operates

  • Integration into the global economy - This attribute measures the extent to which a company’s business facilitates the integration of its countries of operation into the broader global economy by, for example, streamlining international trade processes

  • Reduction of poverty - This attribute measures a company’s effectiveness at reducing poverty by providing high wage jobs

  • Environmental stewardship - This attribute measures the impact of a company’s business activities on the environment

  • Development of skills - This attribute measures the extent to which a company’s activities facilitate or encourage the development of specialized skills
