Workstream #1:
Measurement
Through a unique two-way learning and co-creation process, we work with investors and their stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of how investors — often unintentionally — contribute to negative impacts and how to improve their practices.
the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-Related Financial Disclosures (TISFD), an evidence-based, multi-stakeholder global initiative supported by financial institutions, business, civil society, and labour leaders worldwide to develop recommendations and guidance for businesses and financial institutions to understand and report on impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities related to people. The TISFD envisions an economic and financial system in which businesses and financial institutions effectively address their impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities related to people — resulting in fairer, stronger societies and economies.
Improving Investor Contribution Metrics with the Impact Management Project (IMP) & Impact Frontiers: In 2020, the IMP – in partnership with PDI – asked its community of practitioners to consider and debate areas where investors – separately from the enterprises they finance – engage in practices that result in social and/or environmental harm and amplify systemic risks (or systematic risks to investors’ portfolios). Impact Frontiers, as an initiative of the IMP, led the IMP’s participation in this effort. The perspectives of the community, which took place over a series of interactive webinars and via the IMP’s online forum, have been synthesised into this discussion document which is available for public feedback.
