Can the world meet the growing energy needs without a significant increase investment in nuclear?

Pensions for Purpose is currently looking for asset managers to undertake research using the OMINDEX survey in partnership with The Maturity Institute. We recognise that finding aligned asset managers on the integration of purpose and stakeholder value is a crucial piece of the puzzle in ensuring their impact on people and planet is integrated. This is about integrity - the ability to say that your words match your actions and that you’re not afraid to ask difficult questions of yourselves. The Maturity Institute's Total Stakeholder Value (TSV) model is a leadership and management tool that links data: Human Value, Business Value and Impact. We are all on a journey and this is an opportunity for us all to learn and grow. If you are one of our asset manager members or an asset manager just interested in going through this process, please contact me directly - [email protected]. While asset managers may have their own surveys and monitoring tools, nothing beats an independent review. If you are a trustee or investment consultant, please encourage your asset managers to consider this. #totalstakeholdervalue #impact #purpose #integrity

🆕 How UK Local Government Pension Schemes Became Major Impact Investors Our CEO and co-founder, Sarah Forster, shares insights from our place-based impact reporting and market shaping work with pioneering local government pension schemes in New Private Markets today. Commenting on the place-based commitments of individual schemes, Sarah notes: "Greater Manchester Pension Fund has had a local investing strategy for 25 years, but they never called it impact investing. Clwyd Pension Fund (Flintshire County Council ) and South Yorkshire Pensions Authority have also had place-based strategies, some of what they invest in now described as impact investing."

I'm excited to share the GFANZ 2024 Progress Report! To support financial institutions in 2024, GFANZ has focused on: - enhancing voluntary transition planning guidance, including the integration of nature - mainstreaming the key concepts of transition finance and related forward-looking metrics across the financial sector and with policymakers - supporting transition-aligned index investing - strengthening the voluntary carbon markets - working with key stakeholders to mobilize capital to emerging and developing economies; to develop key climate technologies across the energy, industry, and transport sectors; and to improve access to comparable and decision-relevant climate transition-related data Many thanks to the financial institutions, peer organizations, and GFANZ team members bringing this work to life.

“We want a new partnership with investors, businesses and charities. All the best examples of things that are built to last are when they have been built together,” says Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Department for Culture, Media and Sport in the foreword to the latest market sizing report from the Impact Investing Institute.   It is great to see charities​ and philanthropy referenced in the report.   As Lisa Nandy’s quote suggests, we cannot achieve the full potential for positive, sustainable change in our communities and the wider world without the effective deployment of capital across the full spectrum of capital.   Responsible business, ESG, impact investing, social investing and philanthropy all play different and important roles in driving positive change for people and planet. The more these different approaches are understood and supported to thrive, the better able we will be to build a sustainable future together.   This is the Impact Investing Institute's second report on the UK’s impact investment market showing £77 billion in total and a striking 10% ​annual growth rate.   The report is available at: https://lnkd.in/eT8Uy8eA

Fantastic to see that the work of Fiona Manning and Will Scholes has been recognised in the shortlist of the Investment Week Sustainable Investment Awards 2024 for Best Sustainable Fund Launch. A great way to top off London Climate Week which has seen sustainable investing firmly back on the agenda with thought-provoking events highlighting the power of combining profit and purpose to progress the world’s most urgent sustainable development priorities.
