IQI Petfood extends partnership with Wakibi for 4th year!

December 05 2024 - News

IQI Trusted Petfood Ingredients is proud to share it has once again chosen to extend its partnership with Wakibi! Using deposits as microcredit, Wakibi helps entrepreneurs in developing countries build sustainable businesses in agriculture, food production, and retail. This aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that IQI embraces, such as SDG 12 (Sustainable consumption and production) and SDG 14 (Living in water). 

The impact in figures so far illustrates the power of this partnership: our initial deposit of €4,000 has already led to a social impact of €31,546. Through repaid microloans which are lent out again and again, a stunning total of 880 entrepreneurs have already been able to strengthen and expand their businesses

Our CEO Marc Oostendorp said:

“Our partnership with Wakibi enables us to make real impact through microcredit. We are happy to help entrepreneurs grow sustainably and strengthen their communities.”

In the Wakibi podcast earlier this year, Mark elaborated on IQI’s sustainability goals and our partnership with Wakibi. Listen to it here: https://lnkd.in/eFKbBfhj
