Projects

We want to increase the flow of public and private capital to address environmental and social challenges. Those capital flows are vital in achieving the transition to a net-zero carbon world, which should be inclusive and socially beneficial – a concept commonly referred to as a ‘just transition’.

We want to make it easier for pension schemes to invest with impact and support them in reducing negative impacts and risks like carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, poor governance and inequality that arise from their portfolio, something many pension schemes are keen to do.

We want to increase competency in impact investing so more investors incorporate impact into their work and investment decisions. Lack of knowledge about impact investing remains one of the main reasons for people not to consider impact in their financial decision-making process.

We want to mobilise more flows of institutional investment to address place-based inequalities and support more inclusive and sustainable development across the UK.

We want to make it easier for lenders and investors to assess Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance of housing providers and identify ESG risks as well as opportunities to create positive social and environmental outcomes.
