These values are built into our (1) our underwriting, extensive due diligence and operating procedures; (2) the independent accounting and service providers engaged to assure timely, accurate, and unbiased reporting; and (3) financing structures secure investor capital and minimize downside risks.
We strongly believe that beneficial change for people, communities and the environment must be sustainable, and that organizations (companies and nonprofits) need to be self supporting to fulfill their missions – they must at some point generate revenue, excess cash flow, and sustainable value to constituents, investors, and supporters.
