Impact Fund Denmark has just published this year’s impact report for the SDG Investment Fund. Since 2018, the fund has invested DKK 4.1 billion in 27 companies across Africa, Asia and Latin America and mobilised an additional DKK 15.3 billion for these companies.
In 2025, companies in the fund’s portfolio installed 3,334 MW of renewable energy capacity, helping to avoid 3.9 million tonnes of CO₂e emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon footprint of nearly 400,000 Danes. Portfolio companies provided healthcare services to 1.4 million patients and enabled 280,000 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to access financing.
Driving growth and economic development
In 2025, portfolio companies supported more than 52,000 jobs and reported nearly DKK 1 billion in corporate taxes in the countries where they operate. Compared to 2024, employment increased by 9 per cent, while reported tax payments rose by more than 50 per cent.
The SDG Investment Fund combines public capital from Impact Fund Denmark with private capital from investors including PKA, PensionDanmark, PFA, ATP, P+ and PenSam. The fund helps mobilise investments in emerging and developing markets to support sustainable development. For every public krone invested by the fund, almost four additional kroner are mobilised from private investors.
The need for investment in developing countries is far greater than what public funding alone can meet. That is why it is crucial that we use our capital to bring other investors on board. Mobilising private capital can drive development on an entirely different scale, while also generating growth and financial returns.
The fund’s results reinforce Impact Fund Denmark’s mission to build more sustainable and inclusive societies and mobilise capital for sustainable development.
