"When BlueOrchard was added to the Schroders Capital team it was clear that the potential was much bigger than just leveraging BlueOrchard’s emerging market and sectoral expertise. The impact investing DNA in BlueOrchard was soon seen as a terrific opportunity to deep-dive into sustainability and impact solutions across the entire Schroders Capital portfolio."
