Quadia awarded B Corp™ Certification
Quadia is pleased to announce that it was awarded the B Corp certification in recognition of its sustainable business practices and impact investment offering.
The B Corp certification is one of the world’s most advanced ratings for corporate sustainability and is awarded to companies that are proactive in the global movement for inclusive, equitable and sustainable practices. It is an obvious step for Quadia to join the B Corp community.
Becoming a ‘B Corp’ involves a rigorous assessment of a company’s environmental and social performance and governance as well as a thorough evaluation of how its practices impact its stakeholders. The certification measures how companies manage their people, environmental footprint, products, suppliers and community interactions. The certification helps to distinguish businesses that are intentionally and genuinely committed to fully integrate sustainability and to drive positive social or environmental change .
Quadia achieves its B Corp certification with a score of 114, thanks to its strong Impact Business Model, its engagement and impact assessment with portfolio companies on social and environmental issues.

Quadia’s impact methodology is based on its theory of change and includes the development of a transversal and dynamic roadmap with each investee company to deepen its positive impact.
