About the Shared Value and Impact team:
You can find out more about the work of SVI by visiting our website and navigating to "What we do" and then "Shared value and impact".
The SVI team works where the private sector, government and society intersect. While most development consultants focus on governments and donors only, and most management consultants focus on the private sector only, SVI intentionally advises both. We think of ourselves as management consultants working to improve development outcomes.
The purpose of the SVI practice is to reshape capitalism. We believe flourishing societies and healthy ecosystems should be the primary purpose of capitalism, not afterthoughts. We work in three ways to make this happen:
- We advise multinational companies and global foundations on ESG and impact strategy; climate change and the just transition; and bringing socio-economic and environmental impact into business strategy consciously. We also provide senior executives with public policy advice, political economy analysis, and political intelligence from across Africa.
- We advise governments on development policy and strategy, climate change and the just transition, and the economic impact of new laws and policies.
- We facilitate dialogue initiatives and partnerships between the private and public actors with our in-house partnering methodology called Joint Solutions.
We work in a flat culture that values sustainable hours, flexible working, and high financial reward. We support every team member with personal development to build a successful career in a high-performance environment.
