The current European framework carries too much risk of green and impact washing. And we believe that the EU needs to make impact investing a priority to achieve the fair transition. 🇪🇺👊 That’s why joined #UnitedForImpact, an initiative, supported by 49 impact investors from 16 EU countries that aim to promote impact investing at the European level through shared knowledge & advocacy. This initiative is a testament to the power of unity. When we come together, there's no limit to what we can achieve. 🫶 In summary the group pushes to ao: 𝟭️ 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Pushing for a clear and precise definition of impact investment within the SFDR framework. 𝟮. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗨 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Working to enhance the role of EU funding to stimulate private impact investments. 𝟯️. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝘅𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆: Advocating for the completion of the environmental taxonomy with a social taxonomy. 𝟰. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀: Supporting the creation of a "mission-driven" company status within the EU. A well-defined framework and precise definitions are essential to foster the EU capital market and achieve our continent’s sustainable development objectives. Impact investing is at the heart of sustainable finance. We call on European authorities to make it happen at a large scale. 💪 For more info ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e7WFNdyB #ImpactInvesting #Impact #EU #VC Ring Capital, Servane Metzger-Corrigou, Ilonka Jankovich, Warner Philips, Helmer Schukken, Eline de Haan, Edward van der Hout, Willemijn Verloop, Ata Şenkon, Machtelt Groothuis, Tijl Hoefnagels, Kirstin Valkonet, Alexandros Matthiessen, Charlie Macdonald

Ready to catch a hot potato 🥔? Very proud of Impact Europe who teamed up with the Financial Times to explore some of the hot potatoes of #impact investing. Hot potatoes such as: 🥔 ESG is not the same as impact - and may not contribute to the better world we all want 🥔 Foundations are underutilising their assets for impact 🥔 Sustainability-linked bonds may not be all that we hoped they were At the core of these articles is a very important concept: that of #integrity. If we’re serious about impact in any of our investments - be it returns-focused or philanthropic - we need to make sure the impact we are aiming for and the frameworks we use to measure it are credible. Intrigued? Come be part of the Impact Europe family and join our Impact Week in Bilbao 🇪🇸 on 27-29 November to join the discussion. https://lnkd.in/d2ckbZkJ Roberta Bosurgi Chris West Saskia Bruysten Silke Horakova pascal vinarnic María Ángeles León López Dr. Markus Freiburg Antonio Miguel Maha Keramane Marco Gerevini Douglas Miller Kieron Boyle Johanna B.

This call to focus on integrity is so important and timely. We need institutional fiduciaries of society’s social trusts - for Philanthropy and even more so (because the money so so much bigger) for Workplace Pensions- to be holding themselves to the very highest standards of authenticity and integrity in their exercise of their fiduciary powers true to their fiduciary purposes. Too many have lost their way. We need a new conversation at the vanguard of public discourse to Restate the PURPOSES of social trusts Reassess their POWERS, of size, purpose and time, individually and in “clubs”, to use the technologies of spreadsheet math, desktop publishing and digital communication to negotiate with enterprise, directly Update our common sense of the POSSIBILITIES for who they can and should be negotiating with, and what they can and should be negotiating for; and Upgrade our common sense of the ACCOUNTABILITY for care (prudence) and caring (loyalty) in who they do choose to negotiate with, and what they do need to negotiate for
