Maximise Impact | AlphaTalents Africa

Our four pillars of value creation.

AlphaTalents Africa focuses on four core pillars that we believe to be the foundation of a sustainable and inclusive agri-food value chain.
Our rationale is that a virtuous agribusiness industry must create value across people, communities and the environment they live in, while generating financial returns for all stakeholders.
1

Human / People

Creating value for the employees of our portfolio companies lies at the heart of our approach. We are dedicated to enabling our employees to grow and create better lives for themselves and their families.
2

Social / Community

Our portfolio companies have a duty to contribute to the development of the communities they are a part of and that they depend upon to grow. We care about improving the well-being of those communities by fostering collaboration with smallholder farmers and improving access to education and basic services.
3

Environmental

We are committed to sustainably protecting the natural resources that our people, communities, and companies need in order to thrive. We expect our portfolio companies to adopt a proactive approach to the environment towards generating a positive ecological impact.
4

Financial

Our portfolio companies pursue sustainable financial growth and profitability while redistributing wealth to their stakeholders.

Our team and our investees’ management teams are incentivised, evaluated and rewarded against the four core pillars of value creation, which also inform our performance framework. Each pillar is weighted equally and a set of 15 metrics are used to evaluate the overall impact of our investments.
