Remaining focused on impact

In this edition of our newsletter we bring you the results of our social and environmental performance in our Impact Report 2020. Here we report on our 2019 activities, and also show how the coronavirus has put an emphasis on resilience and continuity. Thos Gieskes, Managing Director said: “I hope Oikocredit supporters reading the impact report will feel inspired”.

We also bring you an interview with Kawien Ziedses des Plantes, Oikocredit’s Global Social Performance Specialist, and point you to key metrics used in the report. For example, did you know that our financial inclusion partner organisations reached 38.2 million clients in 2019?
