Dear friends of Integra Partners,

We are pleased to share the Integra Partners Fund II 2024 Impact and ESG Report with you. Our investing journey to marry profit with purpose began in 2020, when we recognized the significant opportunities to advance financial and healthcare inclusion in Southeast Asia.

Millions across the region lack access to essential services such as financial tools, insurance and quality healthcare – barriers that impede individual progress and broader economic development. Through our investments, we aim to drive innovation in our core impact areas, believing that early-stage companies can create substantial outcomes for both investors and the communities they serve.

Over the past year, we have continued to back founders addressing fundamental access gaps. We proudly welcomed three new portfolio companies: ProCredit, which is addressing the SME credit gap in the Philippines; Kindred Health, which provides access to affordable, quality healthcare for women in the Philippines; and YOUR, which provides financial services to underserved Indonesian migrant workers.

As we strengthen our commitment to the communities and stakeholders that we serve, we also recognize the importance of clearly articulating our mission. In 2024, we revamped our website and introduced our new mission statement: “Investing where profit meets purpose”. This statement underscores our dedication to empowering entrepreneurs who solve meaningful problems through technology and financial services in Southeast Asia.

Beyond enabling access, we are committed to supporting companies in building sustainable, well-governed businesses. Strong governance structures are critical to mitigate risks and safeguard long-term value creation. In collaboration with Steward Redqueen, we have expanded our efforts to address E&S and corporate governance within our portfolio through our ESG Policy Templates. These templates offer startups a framework to adopt best-in-class policies in areas like client protection, human resources, anti-bribery, and sustainability. Robust E&S and governance policies and procedures are critical for fostering responsible business practices and building resilient organizations.

We are proud of our progress in 2024 and remain committed to fostering sustainable growth and positive impact in Southeast Asia. We are excited to share these achievements with you in this report.

Sincerely,

Jinesh Patel & Chris Kaptein, Integra Partners
