A fundamental shift is underway in the business world. There’s a growing recognition that by helping to solve our biggest challenges – from the climate crisis to resource shortages to diversity in the workplace – companies can open up lucrative new opportunities and tap into some of the world’s most significant macro growth trends. It also creates significant competitive advantage, because people increasingly want to work with, invest in and buy from companies like these.
Through careful analysis within our themes, we identify the sectors and sub-sectors most likely to benefit from these long-term trends, and seek out values-aligned companies who share our vision. As a team, we’re passionate about helping these next-generation businesses succeed at scale, drawing on our two decades’ experience of roll-out and buy-and-build strategies.
“We really wanted to find a partner that could support our growth ambitions but would also share our commitment to sustainability and positive impact. So we were attracted both by Bridges’ mission and values, which align closely with our own, and by its track record of helping companies like us to accelerate their growth.”
