Last week, GIST Impact, KPMG and Maanch organised a roundtable meeting to discuss the transition to an impact economy. 🌍 The impact economy values environmental and social impacts alongside financial returns. ⌛ Attended by representatives from leading organisations and financial institutions, the roundtable emphasised that this is not a future aspiration but a present necessity.

Key Insights from Responsible Investor Europe 2024: 🌱🌍🔗 Think Ecosystems for Holistic Success: Every financial asset's success is reliant on the environment it operates within. To ensure longevity, your investments must enhance people, planet, and governance to uphold the wider ecosystem you depend on for long-term success. 💸➡️🍃 Tackling Transition Finance: Transition finance is pivotal for supporting the shift to a sustainable economy. Clear definitions and alignment with corporate goals are essential. Noteworthy initiatives include Japan's introduction of transition bonds in February 2024 and HSBC's development of a credible transition framework. Emphasising science-based targets and structured plans can lead to significant long-term benefits. 👥📊 Defining Social Impact: A unified definition is crucial for investors to influence, measure, and report social impact effectively. Start with this question: How do your investments impact people? 🌿📝 Streamline ESG Reporting: Aligning marketing with ESG disclosures can enhance efficiency and authenticity. This integration can halve the workload and amplify the impact. The dependency of GDP on nature underscores the importance of sustainable practices. 🏛️📚 ESG: More Than an Acronym: ESG is not just a label; it represents crucial actions, cultural changes, education, and market focus on essential societal factors. Divestment alone isn't the solution; it can slow progress.
