    Corporate Impact Measurement & Management

    Both corporate social investors (CSIs) and other impact investors share the common goal of fostering positive social and environmental change through Impact Measurement and Management (IMM), but CSIs may introduce variations due to their corporate ties. CSIs have the potential of integrating social impact into the business context and IMM plays a crucial role in achieving this, using language and data that resonate with corporate colleagues and ensure meaningful impact metrics comparability.

    Following our successful article publication and session at Impact Week 2023, mark Wednesday 20 March, 15:00 – 16:15 for an e-talk. Expect inspiring discussions with thought leaders on integrating social impact into corporate contexts, emphasizing the role of Impact Measurement and Management in achieving this synergy. Register here!

    faiVLive: Small Firm Diaries: What We’ve Learned, What’s Next

    In 2021 we launched a global study on the financial lives of small firms. We wanted greater insight into this little-understood segment of the economic lives of poor households, especially the challenges and barriers that keep small firm owners and their workers in low-income communities from rising out of poverty.  We spent a year getting to know 774 firms in 6 countries: Colombia, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Fiji. We’ve learned a lot—how they are different from microenterprises, about what the owners aspire to, what they struggle with, what tools and products they are using, and what it means to be a worker in these firms. Every firm has its own story to tell, but we found a lot of commonalities among these businesses, with implications for policy, program, and financial product development.  In this webinar we’ll share some data and key findings from the Small Firm Diaries. We’ll talk about related research and initiatives from around the world. And we’ll discuss the implications for what’s next on the agenda. Don’t miss this chance to join in a live discussion of findings from this first-of-its kind research study.  Featuring:  Paddy Carter​​​​, Director of Research & Policy, Development Impact Group, British International Investment Payal Dalal, Senior Vice President, Social Impact, International Markets, Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth Muhammad Meki, Associate Professor & OCIS Fellow in Islamic Finance, University of Oxford Hillary Miller-Wise, Deputy Director, Digital Financial Services, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation And moderated by:  Tim Ogden, Managing Director, Financial Access Initiative – NYU Wagner Visit www.smallfirmdiaries.org for details about the study, to see a list of partners and funders, and to watch videos and download publications.

    Visionary Investing: A Deep Dive into Impact with Adam Bendell

    Visionary Investing: Join us for a compelling in-depth Deep Dive conversation with Adam Bendell, CEO of Toniic, the global impact investing network that empowers investors to advance the frontier of social and environmental change. This session is an exploration into the dynamic world of impact investing, enriched by Bendell’s profound insights shared in a recent interview with Impact Entrepreneur correspondent Catherine Griffin and reflected in his thought-provoking article for IE Magazine.“Impact investors don’t start from a place of what’s in it for me,” Bendell asserts, “but rather, what is the world I envision and how can we get there to create systems better than those we inherited. They come from a profound care for the world, a radical beginning point.” This foundational perspective sets the tone for our dialogue, as we unravel the philosophical and practical layers of impact investing.Our discussion will examine the delicate balance between financial returns and substantial impact achievements, emphasizing the significance of Bendell’s approach that prioritizes systemic improvement over individual gain. We will delve into the criticality and complexities of impact measurement, understanding how rigorous assessment underpins every decision in the pursuit of genuine change. Participants will gain insights into methodologies that guide savvy investment choices, learning to discern opportunities that resonate with both financial acumen and ethical imperatives.Moreover, we will unveil strategic pathways that illuminate how investors can align their portfolios with their most aspirational goals for global betterment. This conversation is not just about the ‘how’ of impact investing; it’s a profound look at the ‘why’ that motivates each decision and investment.

    Fuelling Change

    Fuelling Change – The power of catalytic grant-making

    In 2023, Impact Europe’s members continued to explore the role of Catalytic Capital as a vital accelerator for impact investing. Activities ranging from e-talks, blogs, Impact Week events to the release of Impact Europe’s whitepaper ‘Catalysing Impact’, all looked to showcase and explain our community’s belief in this form of capital.

    One area we, as a community, highlighted was the vital role grant capital had to play as catalytic capital. Responding to this in 2023 via a series of e-talks (here and here), we started to explore what catalytic grant making looks like for foundations and how best practices can be replicated.

    To kick-off 2024, Impact Europe is continuing this journey by organising a Foundations e-talk on catalytic grant making, to showcase practitioners’ best practices. The e-talk, taking place on 9 April at 14.00 CEST, will provide an interactive discussion, where you can learn about other organisations’ journey, barriers and solutions towards more impact through catalytic grant making.

    Impact Europe members can also join us for a members-only online gathering on 12 March at 10.00 CET, providing an opportunity for a more in-depth discussion.

    Register here to secure your spot in the e-talk. If you are interested in joining the members-only online gathering, tick the designated box on the registration form provided above.

    If you are a member interested to showcase your experience at this or future events, tick the designated box on the registration form provided above or by contacting Filipa directly at flancademorais(at)impacteurope.net.

    Time: 14.00 CEST
