Impact & returns

At Phatisa, we are committed to the principle of 'and' – as opposed to 'or'.

Meaning, we focus on delivering impact & returns. Planet & profits. Growth & responsibility.

We do not believe that financial performance and impact are mutually exclusive – rather, mutually beneficial.

We are driven by a passion to positively impact the lives & livelihoods of African people. And achieve this ambition by investing into the food value chain and affordable housing - to create inclusive businesses that maintain their commercial focus while addressing societal & environmental challenges.
