Impact thesis
We identify entrepreneurs committed to good corporate citizenship and environmental stewardship, and each new portfolio company agrees to advance our broad ranging social goals by entering into a Social Agreement (prepared by CVI), targeting jobs for people with low incomes. We bring our knowledge of socially responsible management practices, working together with CEI (www.ceimaine.org) - a community development financial institution based in Maine - to introduce workforce development specialists along with environmental, technical assistance and consulting relationships. CVLP portfolio companies employed 3,596 employees, 2013 of which were retained through year end 2011. Employment in portfolio companies increased by over 133% after CVI investment.
