We are unashamed geeks in social and environmental impact. We have all run small firms and understand the challenges of small firm impact capture and reporting. We solve difficult problems drawing on fresh research and new data insights.
Our shared goal – the big problem that keeps us up at night – is how to make global small business impact visible and develop the means to improve it at scale.
To achieve that goal, we established Divine Ox as small, dynamic social enterprise in 2023, with the University of Oxford as a 5% shareholder. Our articles commit us to promote positive social and environmental impact in what we do and how we do it.
Divine Ox finds its roots at the University of Oxford, and whilst we continue to draw on that pedigree of world-class innovation and insight, we work with experts from industry, public and not-for-profit sectors and wider academia to deliver our ambition.
