Finance as a
force for good

Impact investments aim to deliver solutions at scale to our world’s biggest issues, optimising risk, return and impact to benefit people and the planet.

It does so by setting specific social and environmental objectives alongside financial ones, and measuring their achievement.

Directing capital to public good

Governments alone cannot address the scale and complexity of our world’s challenges. With an estimated annual financing gap of over $4 trillion USD to achieve the SDGs, it is evident that public money alone will not be enough to deliver on the 2030 Agenda.

However, there is enough private capital to achieve urgent social and climate goals. Impact investments are the best way to redirect capital at scale towards solutions.

Scaling capital flows, with transparency and integrity

Collaborative action and innovation in investment structures can channel capital at scale to where most needed, and create a positive impact on people and planet.

Globally harmonised sustainability standards, alongside impact valuation, and impact transparency for all players are crucial for impact-driven decision-making and the emergence of impact economies.

The future of business and investing

Most business and investment decisions are still being taken with inadequate consideration of their social and environmental impact. It is becoming increasingly clear to everyone, including investors, that it is not sustainable to keep asking governments and citizens to pay the costs of the negative social and environmental impacts.

Business and finance leaders are seizing the opportunity to measure and optimise for impact.
