Fair Capital Impact Fund is an investment fund operating out of Muiden, near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Managed by Fair Capital Partners, the fund focuses on investing in young companies that pursue sustainability as their core mission, particularly in sectors such as the circular economy, renewable energy, and sustainable food systems.
The fund’s origins trace back to decades of experience in sustainable and impact investing, initially through early pioneers like Nieuwenhuys Brink Crommelin Duurzaam Vermogensbeheer, which was the first Dutch asset manager devoted exclusively to sustainable investments. Over time, Fair Capital Partners built up a ten-year track record, investing around €180 million in over eighty national and international companies and funds. In recent years, the fund has refined its focus toward investments that explicitly address climate change and aim to reduce planetary depletion.
Its portfolio includes companies such as Netherlands Insulates, which works to insulate homes at scale; The New Motion, known for electric vehicle charging solutions; OrangeGas, which supplies green gas for vehicles; and 3D Hubs, a platform for distributed 3D printing. In 2023, the fund reported results from its current investments that include avoiding over 18 million kilograms of CO2 emissions and reusing over 700,000 kilograms of raw materials.
Fair Capital Impact Fund holds a B Corporation certification and is known for rigorously measuring and reporting the societal and environmental results of its activities. The fund typically engages actively with its portfolio companies, supporting them not just with capital, but with knowledge and network access, aiming to maximize both the social and financial returns of its investments.
