our

impact

We make our impact through our difference makers.

Since our inception we have worked with over 500 difference makers across six countries, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander entrepreneurs, family-run Pacific businesses, Australian social enterprise founders, larger corporates and NFPs of all sizes. Collectively these difference makers seed a more inclusive, diverse and sustainable economy by:

Creating more
inclusive and
sustainable
supply chains

Offering meaningful
employment to
people who have been
undervalued and
unemployed

Offering products
and services that
serve the next economy
and respect our
planetary limits

Championing
the possibility of
an economy that is
worthy of the human
spirit and re-valuing
what our western
culture has lost
sight of.

As an innovation partner to government and corporates, we have also demonstrated the value of blended models, that do good and make money.

For example, our program YuMi Tourism Partners, is delivering an additional AUD$1.5m income per annum into communities in the South Pacific through new tourism contracts, whilst improving Carnival Australia’s onshore experience. We were instrumental in supporting the design and establishment of NAB’s Impact Investment Readiness fund in Australia, and facilitated $28m worth of investment. Our South Pacific investment readiness pilot demonstrated that impact investment was possible, which in turn provided enough evidence for the establishment of Pacific RISE, a five-year impact investment grant facility.

That said, we have also learnt the hard way – we have tried and failed and had to pick ourselves up again. This pioneering spirit will continue to take us to new edges in innovation.

 In 2020 we will be reviewing our impact from our first six years of operation. Stay tuned for more…
