A more inclusive, equitable,
and environmentally responsible
economic system.
An impact economy is where all investment, business, consumption, and government decisions are taken with impact at its core. The transition to impact economies is crucial to address urgent global challenges.
The scale of the world’s problems has changed – and so too must our response.

Practical guidance to ensure sustainability disclosure works for all. The publication addresses the global challenges of implementing sustainability disclosures in emerging markets, focusing on Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia. It highlights the unique needs of MSMEs in these regions, emphasising the importance of inclusive global sustainability standards that consider local contexts.
A thriving impact economy depends upon five important pillars driving impact: demand for capital, supply of capital, intermediaries, ecosystem enablers and government.
Government as a catalyst for impact through its roles as regulator, market builder and direct participant.
Demand for impact capital. Businesses and entrepreneurs that provide impact solutions and have financing needs to carry out those solutions.
Supply of impact capital. Actors that provide funding, directly or indirectly, to impact businesses. These include institutional investors such as pension funds, banks, and philanthropies.
Intermediaries: Enabling the exchange of impact capital between the supply and demand side. These include private equity funds and public stock exchanges.
Ecosystem enablers: Facilitating the impact economy, without necessarily providing capital. These range from financial advisors to academic institutions to networks.
To navigate the complexity of achieving a future where no one lives in poverty and the planet thrives, we need a simple unifying principle: that it is the role of all actors in society to examine how their actions affect the public and the planet.
Each country has individual opportunities and realities with significant differences in relevant laws, practice, culture, and in the relative roles of the state, business and social sector organisations in dealing with societal and environmental problems. This affects the nature and form of the ecosystem for impact investment.
