The sustainable investment platform Goparity has published its Impact Report 2025, revealing that every 1000 € invested helps avoid the emission of 1.6 tons of CO2 per year and generates or saves 2.2 MWh of clean energy annually. The same amount also translates, on average, into 14 people positively impacted, depending on the type of projects financed. These figures reinforce the platform’s position in impact investing, combining transparency, measurable outcomes, and a growing international footprint.

At the 10.000 € scale, this equates on average to the creation of four jobs or the sustainable management of four hectares of land or water. By clarifying the relationship between invested capital and generated outcomes, this approach enables investors to better understand the social and environmental impact of their decisions in concrete, comparable terms.
At a time when investors are demanding greater accountability, clearer evidence of outcomes and more transparent links between capital allocation and real-economy impact, Goparity’s report seeks to make that relationship more explicit. In 2025, the platform strengthened its impact measurement framework in collaboration with AltFinLab - an initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) focused on innovative finance -, refining the methodology used to assess project results and structuring it across 23 outputs, 21 outcomes and 20 impact indicators.
By the end of 2025, Goparity had financed 430 campaigns across 18 countries and 3 continents, mobilizing 53 million euros for sustainable projects. In total, the platform had paid back 32 million euros in capital and interest to investors. The report further notes that 150 fully repaid impact loans had returned 19.3 million euros to the investor community, with an average annual return of 5.4 %.
The report also shows the scale and international composition of Goparity’s community. By the end of 2025, the platform had 78,451 registered users representing 165 nationalities. These figures point to the growing scale and international composition of Goparity’s community.
The platform’s portfolio spans a range of sectors linked to Europe’s broader sustainability transition, including clean energy, business in transition, social economy, and sustainable agriculture. This diversification reflects Goparity’s activity across different areas of the sustainable economy, from clean energy to social economy and sustainable agriculture.
“The traditional financial system separates finance from impact, as though they were two different worlds. Today we know that this is not the case. At Goparity, everything we invest in is intended to generate both returns and positive change, as demonstrated in this report. We are living through a time in which it is easy to feel doubtful, between a new military era and the climate crisis, yet our community continued to invest - more than one million euros per month - in projects that make a real difference to real people and to the planet. That gives us tremendous energy and motivation to keep growing.” says Nuno Brito Jorge, CEO and co-founder of Goparity.
“This report goes beyond simply aggregating results; it seeks to demonstrate objectively how invested capital translates into measurable impact. Our ambition was to make this relationship more explicit, consistent and useful for anyone seeking a clear understanding of the concrete impact of their investment.”, adds Iara Comunello Martins, who led the development of the Impact Report.
The report also highlights Portugal’s relevance within Goparity’s broader growth trajectory. More than 50 % of the capital mobilized in projects already fully repaid to investors was allocated in Portugal, supporting local businesses and enabling the return of more than 10 million euros.
Together, these results illustrate how impact investing can combine measurable environmental and social outcomes with financial returns and operational consistency.
