More than 72,000 people are already financing impact-driven projects through sustainable investing across the Iberian Peninsula and other markets

In a context where sustainable finance remains insufficient to address major social and environmental challenges, Goparity, an impact investment platform, is consolidating a community of more than 72,000 impact-driven users across the Iberian Peninsula and other markets. The company has built a community of more than 13,000 people, financed over 50 Spanish impact companies, and mobilized close to €15 million through debt and equity instrument

According to Goparity’s new Impact Report 2025, the platform has already channeled €53 million into 430 sustainable projects across 21 countries and three continents. Through Goparity, 199 organizations have received funding, and through loan repayments, €32 million in principal and interest have been returned to investors. For fully repaid loans, the average annual return stands at 5.4%.

“Every time we invest, we are making a decision about the kind of economy and system we want to build together. For too long, that ability was reserved for a few. Now, at Goparity, we are democratizing access for all types of investors and turning their money into an accessible, concrete and effective tool in support of sustainable projects,” said Nuno Brito Jorge, CEO and co-founder of Goparity.

He added: “The partnership with Bolsa Social represents much more than our expansion in Spain. It enables two communities that share the same conviction to offer more ways to support companies seeking to generate real impact, from their earliest stages through to consolidation. I believe this will be a decisive step in developing a stronger and more comprehensive impact investment market from the Iberian Peninsula.”

More women investing, but a gap remains

The Impact Report 2025 also highlights an evolution in the profile of the investor community. Women now represent 31% of Goparity investors, up from 18% in 2020, a rise the company attributes to a strategy focused on accessibility and financial education.

However, the report acknowledges that representation remains uneven. Although women now account for nearly one-third of the investor base, only one woman appears among the platform’s top five investors by cumulative volume. To help close this gap, Goparity plans to further strengthen its financial literacy content, with a particular focus on reducing the gender gap.

Progress is also visible among funded organizations, with 47% of issuers having at least one woman on their board of directors, compared to 41% in 2023.

In terms of demographics, the average investor age is 38. The study also highlights increasing diversification in sustainable investment, with energy projects continuing to dominate: 50% of funded projects relate to sustainable energy, representing more than €20.7 million mobilized through Goparity.

From passive savings to impact-driven investment

The report reflects a broader shift in how individuals relate to their money. By the end of 2025, Goparity had 78,451 registered users, 21,537 investors, and a community spanning 165 nationalities. This growth is supported by an expanding range of impact finance solutions, including lending-based investments (Loans) and equity opportunities (Equity). In addition, 1,285 users already use auto-investing, a platform feature that allows them to define a personalized investment strategy and automatically allocate funds to projects aligned with their impact preferences.

The company argues that the challenge is not only to finance more sustainable projects, but also to make impact investing more accessible, understandable, and traceable for everyone. According to its latest analysis, every €1,000 invested through the platform can help, depending on the project type, generate a positive impact for 14 people, avoid an average of 1.6 tonnes of CO₂ per year, or produce 2.2 MWh of clean energy.

“If we do not understand the numbers and reality, we cannot act accordingly. That is why measuring and communicating our impact is not an additional task, but an essential part of how we work. Data allows us to understand reality, make informed decisions, and ensure sustainability is at the center of every decision. All our investments aim to generate both financial returns and measurable positive change. Between January 2024 and December 2025, our community invested more than one million euros per month in projects that generate real impact on people’s lives and on the planet,” added Nuno Brito Jorge.

Spain gains weight in the impact investment map

The company maintains operational presence in Barcelona and Madrid, in addition to its offices in Lisbon and Toronto, reinforcing its positioning in the Iberian market.

With this evolution, Goparity aims to consolidate its position as a leading Iberian impact investment platform. In 2026, the company plans to expand its offering with equity investment opportunities alongside its existing lending-based projects, allowing users to build more diversified impact portfolios.
