Gojo & Company, Inc. (“Gojo”) is pleased to announce the publication of the Impact Report (2025 July).
Each year, the Impact Report reflects on our activities and achievements, visualising the impact we’ve created. The latest edition captures a year marked by major global expansion—a key milestone in our journey toward financial inclusion worldwide.
Key highlights from the Impact Report (2025 July):
- Gojo’s operations expanded from 5 to 14 countries, extending affordable, high-quality financial services to 3.4 million clients (unique client number of Gojo Group and its major investees as of March 2025)—a 42% increase from the previous year.
- As our footprint grew, our client profile has changed. As of March 2025, 73% of our clients are women, and 67% live in rural areas, which is slightly less than last year.
- A major milestone this year was our entry into Africa and Georgia, bringing us one step closer to our mission of global financial inclusion. The report explores the diverse realities of microfinance in each region through local insights and client stories.
- To support this expansion, we continued to strengthen our organisational foundation. In January 2025, Gojo became a certified B Corp, reaffirming our commitment to social and environmental standards, transparency, and accountability.
- We also refined our client impact framework to better reflect the realities we’ve observed across markets. The report outlines our updated strategy and comprehensive impact initiatives.
- This year’s edition features voices from across our group—including clients, field staff, and leadership—offering a holistic perspective on our values, work, and evolving impact.
We hope you enjoy reading our Impact Report.
