Are you ready? Norselab Impact Day is just one week away! 🌱   We have an exciting lineup featuring dynamic discussions with industry leaders and case studies from pioneering impact companies. Get ahead on some of the most pressing questions in impact investing: Can it catalyze profits? Can we make a difference in public markets? Are we measuring the right things? 👉 One of the panels we've got planned is about how we measure and identify impact: How can impact investors identify and measure impact in an understandable yet credible way? Are we chasing the most telling metrics? Does the carbon lens advance impact investing? Do we need a more holistic approach to generate the change we need? To discuss this hot topic, we have Linn Hege Aune from Investinor, Matthew Coffay from Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH), Danny Smith from WWF, and Maria de Perlinghi from Norselab. Our moderator for this panel will be Andreas Friis from Sustainability Hub Norway (S-HUB). We're looking forward to an insightful discussion!

Reflecting on 2023, the impact investing landscape in Aotearoa has transformed from a once niche concept to a thriving movement. Here's a glimpse of the remarkable progress we've achieved together. Impact investing is about generating positive social and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns. Think sustainable infrastructure, empowering communities, and tackling climate change – all while creating financially sustainable businesses! The impact investing ecosystem is growing, and cross-sector collaboration and trust were key to successful partnerships. Check out our 2023 highlight reel showcasing new impact funds initiatives and impact-focused investment products as more investors embraced and pioneered the power of "doing good with their money." But the journey doesn't end here. In 2024, Impact Investing Network (IIN) is set to continue leading the charge by: • Bringing together investors, businesses, government, and key sectors to foster knowledge-sharing. • Building capacity among practitioners to further strengthen our impact. • Advocating for sector-level opportunities that drive positive change. • Providing an independent and cohesive voice to champion optimal supportive policies. Join us on LinkedIn and subscribe to our newsletter for a front-row seat to upcoming events, practical resources, and the latest trends in impact investing – both in Aotearoa and globally. Let's continue the momentum, making 2024 a year of even greater impact! #ImpactInvesting #Sustainability #ImpactInvestingNetwork

At ASA, we're keeping a constant finger on the pulse of emerging non-degree models and how #philanthropy and #impactinvesting are paving the way for them. As you may recall, we announced our impact investment strategy back in 2022, in which we've pledged to invest up to $125 million in organizations increasing access to #careerreadiness learning. There are lots of different perspectives on how such investments should be approached. At last year's #ASUGSVSummit, Rilwan M., our VP of Mission Impact Investing, moderated a panel discussion focused on highlighting some of these models, featuring insights from various experts who are doing this important work. As we anticipate more of these discussions in 2024, take a look at some of the ideas and models these folks provided. Which ones stand out to you as the most promising? https://bit.ly/3u5Lj6C

Taking the stage! 🙌 Our Co-founder, Willemijn Verloop, will be in action at Phenix Capital Group's Impact Summit Europe on the 26th-27th of March. The Impact Summit Europe isn't just another conference - it's a gathering of passionate practitioners in impact investing. Designed to mobilize institutional capital towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Willemijn will be participating in ‘The big impact debate’ alongside Maarten Biermans, Niclas During, Shahzad Memon, with Piet Klop as the moderator. They'll tackle pressing topics like the advantages of impact-linked compensations for managers and the potential positive effects of litigation on impact investing. One of the key points Willemijn will be addressing is the vital importance of 100% linking impact to carry. A key element of Rubio’s impact management system since we started 2015. The debate promises to shed light on why impact linked compensations are crucial for maximizing positive change in our world.💚 But hey, it's not just about the debates! If you're attending the summit and fancy a coffee chat with team Rubio and/or Willemijn, shoot us a DM. Let's caffeinate our conversations and fuel our commitment to driving impactful change together. See you there?! ☕️ Thank you team Phenix Noémie M., Joshua Chan, Dirk Meuleman and Chantal Hermans-Polman for organizing this big event 🙌 #ImpactSummitEurope #impactInvesting #vc #amsterdam #networking #debate

At NorNAB - Norwegian National Advisory Board for Impact Investing we advocate for increased capital flow to impact. This article from Financial Times explains both the need and the opportunity in a good way. Link in comment! “Where, once, impact investing was seen as an alternative to philanthropy, with small-scale investments delivering below-market-rate returns, evidence is now growing that it can deliver healthy financial returns at scale.”

💡Did you know that the financing gap for the #SDGs in the global South – which totalled USD $2.5 trillion in 2015 – now amounts to a whopping USD $4 trillion? This point, raised by Marte Elsa Løfman from NorNAB - Norwegian National Advisory Board for Impact Investing and Ferd AS, was one of many useful insights at the Sustainable Finance and Investment Forum 2024 held in Oslo this week. 🙌🏾Thanks to Sustainability Hub Norway (S-HUB), Norsif - Norsk forum for ansvarlige og bærekraftige investeringer; NorNAB - Norwegian National Advisory Board for Impact Investing, Kaman AS and Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) for organizing an insightful event, and to event partners EY and Argentum Asset Management. #impactinvesting #sustainablefinance
