The social and environmental metrics they reported reflect this collective approach, demonstrating that collective action unlocks tangible results and proving that when ventures grow together, progress follows. Between 2024 and 2025, UpLink Ventures’ solutions have resulted in the following impact. Impact Venture spotlight 4.3 billion litres of wastewater (including hazardous wastewater) were treated. This is enough to meet the water needs of approximately 43,000 households for a year in a developing country. Indra Water treated 50% more wastewater in 2025 compared to 2024, scaling up from 1.2 billion litres to 1.8 billion litres per year through its energy-efficient solution. 201 million litres of water (including wastewater) were reused, which is enough to supply an elementary school of 5,000 students with water for drinking, sanitation and cooking for approximately 6.7 years.Washbox increased the volume of water reused by 12% from 2024 to 2025, bringing the volume from 328,178 to 367,982 litres. 13,594 people, including smallholder farmers, have been trained to improve water use efficiency.In 2025, Kheyti supported 6,000 smallholder farmers in improving their water use efficiency. 326,920 tonnes of single-use plastic waste were collected or reduced. This amount of plastic waste is equivalent to the annual total waste footprint of tens of thousands of households.Only in 2025, Ellipsis Earth has managed to collect 250 tonnes of single-use plastic waste. 5,673 waste collectors gained access to markets, empowering them economically and increasing recycling rates.In 2025, Tontoton enabled over 250 independent waste pickers and households to collect and sell non-recyclable plastic, as certified by their measurement of household segregation units. 166,681 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were avoided or reduced through different processes. This is equivalent to the emissions of 35,400 cars for a year.In 2025, Lanforce Energy managed to avoid around 96,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. 210,902 farmers have increased access to agricultural risk mitigation training and advisory services. Studies show that agricultural extension (i.e. training/advisory services) leads to better risk preparedness, adoption of climate-smart practices and access to credit/insurance.16,17Seabex has provided access to agricultural risk mitigation to 4,550 farmers in 2025. They operate in four structured value chains and have more than 50,000ha (hectares) under management in five different countries. 127 million ha of aquatic or terrestrial areas were protected or actively managed for protection, which is equivalent to about half the total land area of India.umgrauemeio has managed 14% more hectares in 2025 than in 2024 (from 17.5 million ha to 20 million ha).Table 2 UpLink Ventures’ social and environmental impact during 2024–25 Uplink Annual Impact Report March 2026 26
