GSIF Spain Expands Its Portfolio with Two New High-Impact Investments

Global Social Impact Investments (GSI), a management company specializing in social impact investing, strengthened its GSIF Spain fund during the second quarter of 2025, further positioning it as a leading vehicle in the impact growth private equity segment. Having reached a final close of €63 million, the fund continues to consolidate its investment strategy in companies with business models that combine financial profitability with social and environmental impact.

Two new investments with economic, social and territorial impact

At the same time, the fund has completed two new investments totaling €13 million, reinforcing its commitment to transformative initiatives across various regions in Spain.

Located in the Matarraña region of Teruel—one of the most depopulated provinces in Spain—Torre del Marqués Hotel, Spa & Winery is a hotel awarded three Michelin Keys for its excellence and sustainability commitment. Nestled in a Mediterranean forest estate surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and almond groves, it belongs to the prestigious international network Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Its model integrates environmentally responsible practices in both construction and management and creates direct local impact through high-quality job creation and a strong commitment to locally sourced products via partnerships with small local producers. GSIF Spain’s investment will strengthen its role as a driver of economic development, social cohesion, and regional revitalization in a context marked by depopulation and limited opportunity. GSIF Spain was advised by RocaJunyent and Auren in this transaction.

Meanwhile, Sabico is a Spanish business group with more than three decades of experience, offering specialized services in security, human resources, professional cleaning, and auxiliary services. With nearly 3,000 employees and nationwide presence, the company has embedded inclusion, equity, and sustainability as strategic pillars of its operations. It actively promotes gender equality and equal opportunities, as well as labor integration for people facing employment barriers—highlighted by the 500 professionals in its Special Employment Center. Sabico Group also applies environmental sustainability criteria throughout its processes, including energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable energy. GSIF Spain’s investment will support the company’s growth and help solidify its leadership as a provider of essential services with an inclusive, sustainable, and socially transformative approach. Sabadell M&A, Cuatrecasas, and Garrigues advised Sabico’s shareholders, while GSIF Spain was again advised by RocaJunyent and Auren.

According to Daniel Sandoval, Partner and Head of Investments at GSIF Spain:
“Our most recent investments reinforce our belief in the power of impact investing as a tool to transform economic and social realities in Spain. At GSIF Spain, we continue to support projects that, in addition to being financially sustainable, help generate employment, revitalize territories, and improve the lives of vulnerable groups.”

With these new transactions, GSIF Spain has invested €27 million over the last three years, building a portfolio of six growth and impact-oriented companies.
