Some glimpses from SuperReturn in Berlin! Great days spent alongside more than 2,000 LPs and 3,000 GPs from across the globe, discussing private equity, value creation, and emerging trends. Among the highlights, Trill Impact’s Founder and Managing Partner Jan Ståhlberg joined a panel at the main conference on the role of impact in driving long-term value creation. He also participated in an LP/GP breakfast hosted by Business Sweden, discussing what distinguishes leading Swedish GPs in identifying, backing, and scaling companies, and where the next generation of opportunities may emerge. Thank you to the organizers and everyone we met for insightful conversations and valuable connections. Until next time!

📈 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞: One of six cases featured in our recent publication "Practical Perspectives on Impact-Driven Value Creation".   🌍 For over a decade, Delivery Associates (DA) has helped governments around the world drive positive change across education, health, and climate. As their project portfolio grew, so did the question around how to aggregate and demonstrate impact at scale and turn that discipline into a competitive advantage. With Trill Impact's support, DA developed a comprehensive impact measurement system built on three objectives: 1)📊measuring and driving impact across the portfolio, 2)🔍using data to improve project delivery, and 3)💡translating the resulting IP into an external consulting offering.   The framework now covers 100+ projects across 53 countries, which represents around 90% of DA's portfolio. Internally, the new impact measurement framework allows for insight mining across the project portfolio by combining quantitative impact metrics with project success factors and an AI-powered data infrastructure. Externally, the framework IP has been transformed into a new offering and has been sold to its first clients, with a commercial pipeline building into 2026.   According to DA, one key lesson from the initiative is that combining impact and growth under a Chief Growth and Impact Officer role ensured impact measurement was treated as a growth lever rather than a reporting exercise.   The publication “𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧” is co-developed with Value for Good GmbH and explores how investors can drive financial returns alongside measurable impact outcomes. 📖 Read the full report, including more case studies, here: https://lnkd.in/eBTjfv_f   #ImpactInvesting #PrivateEquity #ImpactMeasurement #ValueCreation

It's so exciting to see this publication out there, adding to the broader conversation with concrete, practical examples. Thanks again to Value for Good GmbH for the great collaboration, and a special thanks to our portfolio companies for challenging and refining our thinking, and for their openness in sharing both successes and lessons learned. The conversation is far from over. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and learning from others in this evolving field, exploring how impact and financial returns can go hand in hand. 🌍

🌍𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 2025 was a year of contrasts. Trill Impact's portfolio companies demonstrated both commercial strength and positive societal impact against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions, capital reallocation toward defence and AI, and growing pressure on the ESG and sustainability agenda. Reflecting on the year, Trill Impact's Founder and Managing Partner Jan Ståhlberg says: "Geopolitical pressure changes how the transition unfolds, but not whether it happens."   In a world of heightened geopolitical risk, our view is that energy efficiency, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure are more critical than ever. We are convinced that demand for solutions addressing societal challenges will continue to grow.   Alongside tangible results across Trill Impact's portfolio, the Annual Impact Review covers new investments, awards and recognitions, and our contribution to the broader impact ecosystem — including three case studies from the recent publication "𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧."   Our conviction remains firm. By using an impact lens in every investment, we see that true value creation can be achieved.    📖 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dGQXx9A7

The panel will explore how sustainability is reshaping the investment landscape and how investors can turn that shift into a competitive advantage, with a focus on practical application and the link between sustainable investing and financial performance. The panel takes place on June 11 at the main conference: https://lnkd.in/eTqhuka 🤝Johanna Levander and Matthew Levine will also be attending the event.

🌍With global impact assets under management exceeding $1.5 trillion according to The Global Impact Investing Network, the ability to demonstrate tangible impact alongside financial returns can be a key differentiator for investors, especially in times of economic uncertainty. While this link has been widely discussed, practical guidance has remained limited. We are proud to announce the publication of "𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧," which addresses this gap.   Co-developed by Trill Impact and Value for Good GmbH, it explores how investors can drive both financial returns and measurable impact outcomes, by integrating impact-driven value creation in a structured way throughout the investment lifecycle. The publication introduces a practical framework supported by real-world examples from Trill Impact's portfolio.   💡Curious how to put impact into practice?
