Working Group on Integrating Impact
Sustainable finance is vital for promoting a future-proof economy. The Sustainable Finance Platform’s new Integrating Impact working group aims to develop a practical framework that brings together risk, return and impact. This framework will help financial institutions such as pension funds, insurers and banks to weigh up financial returns, risk and social and environmental impact.
The project focuses on developing frameworks for balancing risk, return and impact, and on formulating and implementing a long-term value strategy in financing decisions. The specific objectives are:
- Creating an implementation guide in which the consideration of risk, return and negative and positive impact can be managed through the financing process
- Testing this framework for usability by different types of financial institutions
- Preparing a proposal for ongoing education to build knowledge of these frameworks and ensure their application.
