Boris Shestopalov, co-owner of HD-groupBoris Shestopalov, co-owner of HD-group, explains why the company decided to invest in Promprylad.Renovation::
«This project is incredible as it is and, of course, it is incredible because of the people who work on it, the team. When we were deciding on investing in the project, the business plan was not of prior importance. What mattered was the team that bears the moral risk for that investment. I understand that this project has the highest level of social responsibility to investors. This is an amazing model for converting social capital into social investment. And these emotions, for me as a businessman in an industrial sphere, are not only a prime example of impact investing, but a good educational experience».
Serhii Chekalskyi, co-owner of HD-group
«Silicon Valley has come about only through profit sharing and impact investments, meaning that using the development of others, one could also develop itself. I am incredibly pleased that there are so many companies in Ukraine with a high level of awareness of their role in society and the future of their country. I sincerely wish my new co-investors and partners success», – comments Serhii Chekalskyi, co-owner of HD-group.
