We use the company as a way to resolve social and environmental challenges all while generating economic profitability in the market

We are a group of companies making an impact made up of a team of more than 150 people committed to solving social and environmental challenges.

We come up with and create projects that flourish, sharing the economic value created with the teams that make it all possible and allow us to reinvest the profits in new and evermore ambitious projects. This is the virtuous circle we work in each and every day. Plus, we operate as catalytical capital by financing the first steps of different projects, taking on the initial risk to later add other co-investors along the way. Likewise, we work as the initial anchor investor in the investment vehicles we create and manage, mobilizing ours and third-party capital towards the impact.

We focus on entrepreneurship, the development of sustainable urban environments, investment, education and consultancy, accompanying organisations towards positive impact.

Zubi Group,
a Story of Impact
