OverviewImpact Frontiers offers a guided do-it-yourself approach to support cohorts of investors in building their impact management practice
Participatory cohort-based programs support investors in establishing or improving their own practice of impact management and fully integrating impact into their investment frameworks, processes, and systems.
By participating in an Impact Frontiers cohort, organizations will:
- Develop a robust, right-sized, and customized impact management practice through interactive workshops and peer-to-peer collaborations
- Build an impact rating system that can be integrated with measures of financial risk and return at the individual investment and portfolio levels
- Gain exposure to a broad range of industry-leading practices and research in impact management through expert guest sessions
