Cerise+SPTF

🚀 Exciting days for #Impact #Finance in #Luxembourg Tuesday I had the privilege of attending on behalf of Cerise+SPTF to the second edition of the Impact Finance Forum Luxembourg, organised by ICFA - International Climate Finance Accelerator. ICFA, and the recently launched ISFA - International Social Finance Accelerator are designed to support emerging fund managers who tackle the world's most pressing climate and social challenges with financial backing and technical assistance, from coaching to training workshops. The programs are crucial for incubating new ideas and fuelling the growth of climate and social impact finance. 💡 Key highlights 👉 Minister Gilles Roth emphasised the urgency of accelerating funding to achieve the SDGs, with Luxembourg’s financial center uniquely positioned to develop innovative solutions like blended finance 👉 A 10-Point Action Plan launched earlier this year outlines concrete steps to make this happen. 🚀 At Cerise+SPTF, we take pride in our clear criteria and indicators to ensure impact investing doesn't become just another marketing buzzword.  For the past 20 years, Cerise + SPTF has been at the forefront of creating standards for transparent evaluation and reporting in inclusive finance 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-_AJVDP Steven Evers, CEO of Triple Jump, addressed the challenges of the evolving regulatory frameworks related to impact measurement and reporting. He expressed the hope that SFDR 2.0 will provide a balanced reporting framework that levels the playing field. Currently, one of Triple Jump's highest impact funds must register as Article 8 under SFDR because of challenges in data collection in the Global South. "We absolutely need to advocate for this permanently, by sharing our experience with implementing regulation and contribute to develop better frameworks that take into consideration the specificities of the Global South!" This is exactly why Cerise + SPTF has been working tirelessly for the past two years—to share the deep experience our sector has gained in the Global South, advocating for regulations and taxonomies that are both clear and practical for real-world implementation as part of our Social Investors Working Group 👀 Join us  https://lnkd.in/gBy25Be #SocialImpact #InclusiveFinance #ImpactInvesting #BlendedFinance #SFDR

🔜 Join us for the Financial Inclusion Week 2024, taking place virtually on October 15-18! Every year, Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) convenes #FinancialInclusion stakeholders from around the world to discuss the pressing topics of inclusive finance. This year’s event will present an industry-wide opportunity to reflect on how the inclusive finance sector has evolved over the past decade and what we need to do next to serve the nearly 2 billion people that remain excluded from the formal financial system. In a context where financial services providers have expanded to include #fintechs to #bigtech, and the use of #AI is widespread across product and service design and delivery, we must now look beyond access to usage and quality outcome indicators. Technology and #DigitalFinance have enabled broader outreach and innovation, yet customers are also experiencing a staggering level of harm. Amelia Greenberg, Deputy Director of Cerise+SPTF, will moderate a live session to dive deeply into the 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 (𝐃𝐅𝐒) 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 developed by Cerise+SPTF, a set of good practices for FSPs of all types to implement in order to offer DFS responsibly.

🙌 Yesterday, the 2024 SIWG/FIEC meeting came to an end, and it was so energizing! The event ended with two panel discussions covering major topics for our industry: #ClimateFinance and the evolution of #Gender lens investing. 🌎 Marion ALLET moderated the discussion to explore the ways in which climate finance can be integrated into inclusive finance strategies to better serve clients while mitigating environmental #risks. The panelists from BNP Paribas, Triple Jump, SIDI (Solidarité Internationale pour le Développement et l'Investissement) and Oikocredit shared striking experiences on how they evaluate climate-related risks for their investees and the clients. They debated the solutions to be implemented and the role of investement in mitigating the risks and building #resilience. 🙋♀️ The last—but not least!—session provided examples of how gender lens investments have changed over the years, including accomplishments and challenges. The participants from Women's World Banking Asset Management and Proparco shared lessons learned in supporting women economic and social #empowerment. This last day was also the opportunity to offer recognition to the participants in a fun way! Keeping the spirit of the Olympics, we hosted a glod medal ceremony to thank the SIWG/FIEC members and our team, with a special word for Jurgen Hammer 🇵🇸, the leader of this most active working group at Cerise+SPTF. Thank you Grameen Credit Agricole Foundation for hosting the event. 🙏 MAE, Luxembourg #SIWG2024 #ImpactInvesting #InclusiveFinance #SustainableFinance
