Exciting News! Our new report on Impact Investing is now live, following the UN Global Compact UK Annual Summit at Guildhall today. Impact investing actively seeks to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside financial returns.
'The UK as a Centre of Excellence in Impact Investing’, in partnership with British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA), assesses the UK across five key criteria for a Centre of Excellence:
▪️ Clear Mission
▪️ Knowledge and Expertise
▪️ Scale
▪️ Leading Talent
▪️ Capacity Building
We find the UK is in a coveted position to continue to lead and grow as a Centre of Excellence in impact investing, and the significant financial, social, and economic value that impact investing contributes both nationally and globally.
The report also identifies trends and opportunities for future growth. As the world increasingly focuses on sustainable and ethical investments, the UK's leadership in impact investing presents immense potential for positive change.
A huge thank you to Harriet Assem, and Impact Investing Institute, Bridges Fund Management Ltd., Better Society Capital, Impact VC, Lightrock, Circularity Capital, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Palatine for their valuable contributions to this report.
